Why Fluctuating Price? Can anyone explain this?

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

Prices fluctuate. If you shop on Amazon long enough, you'll find that prices for certain item categories (like physical books) are more stable than others (like personal electronics). It almost certainly wasn't a straight shoot from $17 to $28. The price probably rose and dropped, rose and dropped, before eventually reaching $28.00. And it's possible that the $17 price listing was from another vendor than the $28 price listing. $17 sounds awful low for this product. I'm guessing the $17 price was from a third party--not shipped and sold directly by Amazon. Marketplace sellers will sometimes lower the item price to draw customers in, only to raise the shipping and handling to more than compensate for the subtotal deduction. Keep an eye on the price--check it every day. In my experience, if the price reached $17 once, it probably will again. But it might take a few more months to get there.

Happens with many other items. It's a free market, after all. No sane person would buy at those prices, so who cares!

The price is incorrect. I've noticed this happening with other items as well.

Ordered last weekend for $29 - had been $38. Free shipping, too from Amazon. As to fluctuating prices - when you order something from Amazon, even if your order has shipped & is already in transit to you & you see a price drop - just contact Amazon.,com Customer Service & they will adjust the price for you. Be polite, since complaining or using less than complimentary language about the pricing event won't get you what you want.

I just noticed the same thing also. I paid the same back in Dec I do not know why the price jumped so high.

Theresa: You might have placed your order from a 3rd-party Marketplace Seller, not AmazonCom LLC. Sellers set their own prices. Some pricing is based on the PT Barnum Principle vs Caveat Emptor. Cheers!

That's cool-thanks for the info! The rate I go through these things sometimes, you never know when I might be in the market again :)

I've noticed big price fluctuations with a lot of products on Amazon... It works out for me, though, because the prices dip drastically at other times... gotta love getting an item retailed at $120 for $31.50, don't you think?

I don't know, I've been waiting for the price to come down myself. Maybe it's just supply and demand?

Dear Dan Thank you for asking us. We are sorry for the inconvenience. That&#12288;is because the price in the Japanese market is also changing day by day. So we have no choice without changing the price.... We hope you understand this. Thank you Office Lisa

Prices on Amazon fluctuates frequently based on competition. The current online pricing which you observe is the accurate pricing at this time.

Vendors (in this case, Canon) sets and adjusts the prices due to supply & demand among a variety of other factors. Fluctuations are normal. Use a price tracker or keep checking back until you find it at a price you want. Amazon does not raise prices based off of your personal views/clicks on a product.I wouldn't count on the price swinging down im the near future (holiday season premium maybe?)

Consipracy theory isn't necessary to explain this , just basic economics ... Have you considered that the college boys just finished final exams in June and are free to devote themselves to upgrading their PCs (thus increasing demand , and driving up the price , of this item) ? As I write , in September , kids are just getting back to college , and the same dynamics seem to be playing out ... with the item price jumping above (the stable-demand price of about) $100 as supplies are depleted . Am I not correct ?

The price set is based on various things, a major factor being cost and shipping. It is highly possible that the vendor had to pay more if the price was increased

I apologize for responding a little late. As you know prices fluctuate, I wished it was fluctuating that closely when I purchased my K-5, as I would've bought the K-5 II. I hope you purchased the K-5 II and are happily using it!

The quantity sometimes varies due to them being sold by weight and not numbers. this may be also to make us think we are getting the same for the price, but the price really did increase, we are just being deceived into thinking we are still pay the old price, just getting less now.
