Price just jumped from $175 to $200: I just wonder why Amazon raised the price?

Just to clarify, Amazon only dropped the price temporarily as part of those post-thanksgiving sales (you know black friday, cyber monday)...it was just a holiday sale. Then back to regular retail price. Amazon had some great deals that week, along with other online shops. It was just that week though; pretty much everything was cut drastically in price if you noticed, then went back to regular this week. So it's 200 now like it was originally, and it'll stay that way for awhile (unless you shop around, some people had been selling them cheaper all along).

Yeah you are right from last 4 weeks prices at amazon are hovering between 1799 to 1899. Last weekend for couple of days BB decreased the price to 1799 when it was 1899 at amazon. But before i could get hold of the price they increased it back to 1999 (saturday midnight). Let see if it comes back down again by this weekend. I don't see amazon going below1 1799. The similar model LN46A860(Toc Blue) is being offered for 1599. Don't know why, but id prices don't settle may be i will go for this model. tech Specs are same.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

Been thinking about this myself...at time of this post Corel had raised it's price to $350 while Amazon had dropped theirs to $200, normally this would be a no-brainer except that a lot of the comments referenced serial numbers not working and dealing with Corel customer support for a product not purchased from them directly. Still $150 is $150

Yes, how dare Amazon! Utilizing the founding principle of our economy! The nerve!!Oh wait, the price hike is over... What a terrible ordeal for a price hike to last two weeks while an item is out of stock. BTW, the price decrease just so happened to coincide with Amazon shipping the cables out again. What a coincidence.And if you want to complain and moan about Amazon's pricing, purchase one of the other cables through one of the other companies. I'm sure Amazon won't mind losing a few whiny customers.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

Now 1/25/2014, it's back to $23.50 ?? Feel free to correct me, but I understand Amazon has a pricing algorithm that determines price...

Yeah it was about ten bucks in dec 13. Then it jumped to more then double that. This is why you always need to double check prices on Amazon.

The seller may have raised the price since the email was sent. The price on the listing is the price Amazon is selling it for, there are 6 other sellers and the least expensive one has it for $43.90.

Its like you guys are speaking after my own heart. I totally feel the same way. I was about to pull the trigger on this set and boom another 200 dollars... Ouch. Unless this set drops to the 2168 it was at or lower I'll be taking my business elsewhere. What were you thinking Amazon ???

Looks like its where you want to be, I see $114 right now at Amazon but I have also seen cheaper last week elsewhere, I guess price is subject to fluctuate.

I think all of the items increased price in the Amazon. I compared the price in a week ago on the samsung TV. They increased while the other dealer not increase the price.

I was just about to buy a white one and the price jumped to $414! The strange thing is, if you go to the manufacturer's website, is sells for 350 euros. I hope amazon buys a new lot and sells them for a good price.

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

the 1999 price was from 6th Ave and maybe also from Amazon itself, I noticed this as well. The other sellers had it marked higher, so when 6th ave and or amazon sold out the only ones available were higher. (Amazon did not change the price).
