Why is the Queen set so much more expensive?

It's larger than most queen sets I've seen, easily goes to the floor on all sides. Well worth the price in my mind because I like it so much!

I just figured the king was on sale. These bedspreads are worth the money... They are so much longer than most bedspreads unless you have a really tall bed a queen would fit a king.

I found this interesting. I didn't expect the price to stay below 400 for long. It would seem to be due to the number of returns and poor customer service, though I haven't had to experience any of those myself. Large package, expensive to ship, a business is about making money and cutting costs. The popularity of an item doesn't matter. Perhaps TCL raised the price of the set themselves and Amazon decided the item was too risky and expensive in the end to keep. I sure would not pay $449.00 for this set now as listed by a seller. (3/29/2012), but then that is because I have one I bought for $329.99. My option at the time was to pay more than 400 for a Samsung, my second choice. I found this interesting.

Yeah that's crazy. Are they being sold in sets? When I ordered it years ago it was less than $10

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 ???

I would like to know the true answer to this question as well. Only thing I can think of is that kids love them SO much, they decided to make them super expensive for what you're getting so as to make a huge profit margin. I mean, seriously? $1.20 PER TILE?? Seems ridiculous to me. The cheapest per unit alternative I've found is the 100 pc set by Playmags. Even that seems incredibly steep for me at $90... That's most of my budget for Xmas. It's a shame they make them so spendy.... So many more kids could be enjoying them. Any comment on this topic, Magna-Tiles reps?

Quite likely to be just economies of scale...more people might need a queen over a full size and that will bring the prices down for that size generally..

The most reasonable explanation is that they overestimated demand for the burgundy color and most people bought black, so they have a ton of burgundy units to unload. I bought a new burgundy, from the e-bay gang, for seventy-one dollars total delivered, no tax; a good deal compared to the black color. That's thirty-five dollars (1/3 less) than a black one here.Another possible reason is that they're about to introduce some new colors (including girly ones, like pink and turquoise) and know the burgundy sales will slow down even more, so selling them off now at the highest price possible would make sense.

Yes, the answer is actually quite simple .... Marketing. Retail prices are meaningless. They give you the impression that you are getting a much better deal or much better quality in the 12 piece set when in reality they are IDENTICAL in construction. If you look today, you can buy the 10 piece set + 11 inch deep sautee with lid to give you the "12 piece set" for $42 less than the 12-piece set. Yet most people will just pay the extra money for the 12 piece set because they think they are getting a better deal.One of the oldest marketting tricks in the book.

Look for the black one, i noticed the color ones are almost twice as expensive

not sure why white is more expensive, maybe because is a popular color. i got the brown to match my furniture and it is/perfect.

Those two figures are an exclusive prince and princess set, so they are harder to find. That is why they are more expensive.

The prices are different just like anywhere, because they are being sold by different companies. They look like the same set to me.

Looks like the only difference is the price. The set itself looks identical to this. I'd contact the seller if you want to be very thorough though.

Search Amazon for "Classic Brown & White Backgammon Set", you will see differently priced sets. The one currently priced at $35.26 seems to be the 15 inch one, but call the seller (number in another answer below) to confirm

Try Select Furnishings, their prices are lower !! same products. The site shows a picture of the set with dimensions.

I'm not sure why it's less expensive. I would contact the supplier for that. The only thing I can think of is the 4x4 is more popular

Yes it literally is that is the reason I purchased it, so I can flip the mattress as my husband is linebacker sized and I am not. The Sheets are not that expensive, depends on what your definition of expensive is. I can get them online for about $60 for 1800 threads for a Queen size bed. We love it.
