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.

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.

I just purchased mine 11/17/09 from CameraKing for 735.99 with free shipping. I found this vendor on Ebay. It shipped out the following day (yesterday) and I can't wait for my new toy to arrive. Edit. 11/27/09 It did not ship out at all. CamerKing lied about it being in stock and about shipping it out. Stay away from CameraKing! When I asked today, 12 days after paying for it, where my system was they told me that they don't have it and won't be getting more. They then tried to get me to buy a different product from them. I wouldn't do business with them ever again! I today bought the system from Amazon for 849.99. At least I will probably get it from them. Again, do yourself a favor and stay Clear of CamerKing. Very unethical people!

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

We apologize for any confusion. On our website, this product is offered at $39.99. If there is a price discrepancy with Amazon, you will have to contact them directly.

Colorful items sells what appears to be the same machine for 3 or more prices. The descriptions used differ slightly but the machines look to be the same. If go to thier website they only sell one machine and its $250 so why are there machines here on amazon for $175?

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

I live in Los Angeles and this company is just a few miles from me. I called to see if I could buy it and pick it up to avoid the shipping cost and they told me they sell it at their store for ~$80. They could not lower the price. They said Amazon chooses to reduce the cost of the item from the $80 to the $35 so they can charge the rest in shipping and make it look like it is cheaper. They said if I wanted to buy this item in store I would have to pay the full price. I am not sure if this is Amazon or the seller Best Choice Products but either way I feel this is deceptive and makes me not want to even bother.

Go to who-ever is advertising it at that price and ask them for one at that price. Of course beware of "hidden charges" like "shipping 19.95" added on top of some prices.

I saw it too. I saw the coupon the day after I looked it up online, went to the site to buy it, and was dumbfounded. Amazon keeps this crap up and they will lose a VERY good customer.

I emplore you to avoid buying anything from Nyrius!!! They don't stand behind their pricing, and I believe they outsource production(no replacement parts if it breaks, or you loose something). They had this translator listed on their website for $20 less than on Amazon, and insisted thst they don't maintain their own website, and therefore would not honor the price. I called them on their bait-and-switch tactic, and they brushed it off as a technical error. So now they have me and about 15 others that they screwed, that feel it's our duty to inform anyone who asks, what they are all about. I recommend either Lexibook or Franklin, which are great products. Good luck!!! I emplore you to avoid buying anything from Nyrius!!!

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?)

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!

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.

You said NOT WITH US, but it was a few hours ago because it was in my cart, then it disappeared from my cart so I found it and clicked on it several times, made sure it was from you, and it still said $995.00, so I had to order from someone else. Must be a system glitch.
