How come the price went up $5? I will have to reconsider purchasing on Thursday (payday) because the price went up. : -(

Hello, Prices vary based on the decision of the manufacturer, Ravensburger.

I was just about to buy it a few days ago, when the price shot up. But I HAVE seen prices go down after putting them in my cart, so I'm willing to wait for it to drop again. It's gone down once since then, although not to the price I originally saw it. At this point it's a crap shoot.

I didn't realize TV's trade like stocks these days??? I had it in my cart for $1055.00 on 8/24 in the AM and an hour later it went to $1,100+, now its $1,222? Funny how I have never seen anything go down in price after putting in my cart. I've seen things go down a bit when in saved items but never when you're ready to check out. I'm a huge Amazon fan but someone is playing games here.

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.

Hello! I was planning to buy this item on the Black Friday, but found the unpleasant surprise of its current ridiculous price! I will wait until its price drops too.

Heh. I'm pretty sure that wasn't an option back when I originally posted this. I think this changed because they've since raised the item price.

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part. I guess January has become gouge month or something.

I was about to order, but then saw the price increase. I've felt like I was watching commodity trading on the pricing the last couple of weeks. Just a guess on my part, but perhaps they are starting to receive units with the new 2009 maps, and that is the reason for the uptick in price? Again, merely an uneducated guess on my part. I'm looking at pcrush(d0tc0m) to order at $235 now.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

I paid $2 plus $2 shipping. It is currently shown as $4. My guess is the price changes with popularity. I would keep watching and buy when it drops!

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

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

I went to the B&H; site and they were selling it for the mfg suggested price. No deal there, unless they are like Amazon and jack up their prices for the weekend...

I agree...have been buying it and somehow got lulled into paying much more than when I first started buying this...SAD!!!
