And how is it that Amazon can advertise the Huffy Green Machine (green, full size) @ $79.99 and when I receive it, it's a Green Machine Mini 16"... then when I call customer service I'm told they'd be "happy" to refund me the purchase price and return shipping cost, and then they'd be happy to sell me the same one I had purchased at $79.99 for $249!!?? This is definitely false advertising... bait and switch. I've trusted Amazon until now... it remains to be seen how they'll handle this situation because I'm waiting for a reply from customer service. I hope they make it right by sending me the item I purchased for the price they had advertised when I purchased it.

Same thing happened to me....contacted Amazon and they told me to resolve it with the seller. I'm calling AMEX to dispute....the payee is listed as AMAZON, isn't it their responsibilty to resolve? I will not be doing business with Amazon again.

Because of the way Amazon is structured and the process required to offer any discounts for orders, it does not make sense to offer additional discounts on this product. I realize that may sound crazy, but I literally will lose more money then I will earn. I am sorry, perhaps someone else is in need or willing to work for a few pennies. If so, I wish you the best. Unfortunately I can't afford to offer a lower price than listed.

It's up to $199.00 now.. I can't believe this of Amazon, I've always trusted them - this place is getting as bad as Ebay!!

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

As of today, I've already gotten 2 price adjustment refunds, as I purchased this machine at the "then bargain price" of $220+. Both times I called them directly (they don't publish this number: 800-201-7575). Call and wait for a live person to help you. No problems either time, and you'll even see the refund on your order history before you hang up! Amazon is great this way!! Enjoy.....

Did the "false advertising" cause you to lose money? I ordered mine and received them on Monday of last week. It sounds like they are trying to make good by informing you of the shipping delay and showing you how to cancel the order should you choose to do so. I do not believe there was any deception intended on their part. I have been buying from Amazon for about 3 years now. I have Amazon Prime and I get free shipping on all items that are sold by Amazon. I once purchased a GPS and a month later the price went down by $50.00. I made a call and them cheerfully gave me a credit for the price reduction. Poor inventory management perhaps, "false advertising"... not a chance. I wish you luck with your complaint to your States Attorneys Office. Let us all know how it turns out.

Once i descibed the classic bait and switch situation of advertising and not delivering the correct product with Amazon being the seller and posting the rebate on the items page i was given a $25 promotion credit. That helps but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

Thanks G. Mercado, I did notice that it wasn't actually Amazon itself selling at the higher price. I was just referring to the extra $200.00 profit that Toyzz was trying to make. I seriously thought it was a misprint as I would hope people are not that desperate for TC. I know I am not!

Hi, Yes, that is the way some sellers have their prices. It is the total delivered price. They do that so they don't have to pay Amazon as much to sell their items and it can be deceptive. There is no way anyone could sell these for a penny. The total price is .01 plus maybe $4.99 shipping which is $5.00 total delivered price. I give free shipping but my price might be $5.00 with free shipping. Hope I explained this ok. Let me know if you have any other questions?

Plus there only $87.99 on Amazon.com! Don't know where you are getting $200 from.

IDK I Think Amazon is trying to trick a couple dumb***** to pay more. I agree with Musio that you should get it from Radio Shack.

That's great that Amazon has updated their site. The price is a little confusing, but if you are on the Worx site and you click the 30 minute charger and then Buy now it still brings up the price as $199.99, so that leads me to believe that Amazon's MRSP is correct for the 30 minute charger. They both have the $50 discount, but Worx's is charing $26 for shipping while Amazon will ship for free. I am pretty positive that I am going to purchase this item now, but I am leaving for vacation for 2 weeks, so I will probably order when I return. I have also inquired to Lowes if they will carry this newer model since they carry the older one, but I have not heard back yet from them regarding that.

I went back and looked at the ad for this on Amazon and when I bought this it was just 1 box for $19.99 - I can't believe that it is now 6 boxes for $19.99??? Just does not make sense, I don't understand why it says 6 boxes but I temped to order and see.

First let me start by saying that I did not buy mine through Amazon. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely check Amazon first before I buy anything. It's all about saving a few bucks right? I recently started doing Sam'sClub auction and found this exact machine. I fortunately won the bid and got it for $20 less than Amazon is selling it for. To answer your question though, my order did come with the mug and it did say on the box that it was included. In fact I also received 2 different sizes of reusable gold tone coffee filters in the box. I don't understand why there is a difference between the one listed on Amazon and the one I purchased but apparently there is one. First let me start by saying that I did not buy mine through Amazon.

I noticed that. I think the normal price for this machine is $299 and amazon has it listed wrong. I bought it elsewhere on sale for $199 and the original price listed for it from that place was $299. Amazon has some great prices on machines but I don't think this is one of them.
