Please help me understand...how is a $50 airtime card being sold for pennies????

For my usage I don't think the card is all that cheap. I normally don't use more than 100 hours of talk time per month and most of my internet activity is from hot spots. The phone card works off the AT&T; network and does a very good job.

It's pretty obvious. the prepaid card says 270$ right on it, yet they sell them for 385? You should never pay more than 45$/month for straight talk. The only authorized place to buy ST is walmart or walmart.com. These should be the only places you get cards. These people are probably stealing the unscanned cards at walmart and selling them, while they only work after you run them through the register

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

Depending on the version you buy, there's some amount of money already on the card. But it might not be very much - like $5, which is only about a 10 minute call in some places.

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

technicals-- will change FAST month to month..any unit runs and at only about 10 bucks in cash money using the COUPONS, which expire 90 days after issue but in reality 60 days after receipt. Retailers use the coupons like credit card entries which means the new gen crooks buy a unit with a credit card, use the coupon and then return the convertor for a extra 40.00 that goes right back on their CC account.. just like free cash!!! Philco has the best tested video and audio but not through cable out.. use the RCA video and audio composite for best result. DON'T wait too long to apply for coupons.. The Federal money allocated is not going to be there forever. Get yours now, have your CATV neighbor apply fo his later this year(he will then give to you) I got my Philco at my local Meijer store under 50 .. Watch out for Online on these the ship can eat you up- remember its only 10 buck cash out of your pocket bought locally.. be patient.

I got it from the Q for under 400.00 (incl. tx, s/h) and on 5 ez-pay installments. EZ pay helps & makes up for having to pay s/h & tx. A friend of mine has 1 & he says he likes it, so I'm looking forward to receiving mine--especially for the internet apps. I still can't figure out why AMZ doesn't have it available yet. Seems it will be old technology before they get a supply.

I was just told by customer service that I have to go to a physical store to get an airtime pin to activate this card. I wish they had said this up front.

If you mean, the listed "purchase price," so far as I know, it is a one-time charge. You are purchasing this "protection plan" much as any other item--the difference being: you buy it, and hope you never have to use it. I can't report on how things go if you do have a problem with the "protected" item.

Resellers are selling at a premium, probably because these were pre-sold-out. Anything to make a quick buck I guess. The company who makes them were selling for about $13.

well to much suprise. DirectTV claims that they are not for sale to the general public and if you purchase them and try to activate, they claim ownership of it. If at any point you cancel your service, they want the unit back. So really all you are doing is saving money from purchasing here vs buying from them. And they also put you back into a 2 year commitment....which is total bull.

Yes indeed... you were either ripped off or you didn't wait for a better price. While mine is used, I purchased it for $60-70 last year. Hope this helps... and get your money back if you can!

Thanks all for sharing your information. It helped me to save 104 dollars!!! As mentioned by N. Tekwani, I called Amazon customer support, explained the situation and got $104 back on my credit card. Easy money! This deal is much better now. :)))

James, I think that it was actually a scam. I never received the item, and ended up having to file a claim. It took about a month to resolve but I ended up with my money back. Bought a k5200, which is a better card.

Why would they claim an orig price of $55? Who would pay $55 for this? Think the savings is majorly inflated and, frankly, irresponsible. Having said this, I have one that I bot at a discount store for $4 and I love it. To pay$6 for one is not unreasonable but to insinuate that it could be retailed for $55 is ridiculous.

I agree that this TV is excessively priced, especially since this is an old model as pointed out by Shaq. I don't understand Amazon's strategy. If they are sitting on a bunch of old TVs in their inventory, why don't they price them with a true sales price ?? Like in the week before the Super Bowl for example ?? Just a suggestion... I know I would consider buying it then !!

I was going to go the TV offer route... 2 last payments are 39.95, 1st payment is like 69 something (includes S/H) and like the other reviews state, after S/H for the other extras- WOW!So here I am. Just ordered one last night and if my calculations are correct, I'll get it faster on here.
