That's a good question he had last year. Today it says, list Price: $119.99, today's price: $49.99 why the fluctuating price tag?

Marketing. I am in marketing. Makers of products give them high list prices to make the customer think they are getting a great deal. The list price is a fake price on lots of items now days. Look at invicta watch's. Their list price is $999 and are sold for $99

I have seen price change on Amazon, but not like what you are stating! Amazon should answer this.

Are you guys new here? Amazon prices fluctuate more than grocery stores. Go to camelcamelcamel.com and put in the URL of whatever product, and see the fluctuations...

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!

Hello, we apologise for the price change. We try to maintain the same, if not steady price for our products. However, market prices are always fluctuating therefore we have to adjust our price accordingly on Amazon.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

Unfortunately the pricing does not make sense. Our prices may fluctuate to stay competitive. I will look further into the pricing in case the listing is wrong.

Thanks for your question! We consistently work toward maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry. Because the marketplace is constantly changing and we strive to offer the lowest price, you'll see some fluctuations in our prices over time. I hope this helps explain why you may see variation in prices!

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.

Hello, It could be that the price changed to the pricing from the supplier. We apologize. Thanks

It looks like we are not an active seller on the item when I go to our overall inventory and that could be because of the price. it is not accurate.

The price is incorrect. I've noticed this happening with other items as well.

I noticed the same thing! Came back to buy 2 for my 2 boys and was surprised at the price difference. Hoping it drops again in time for Christmas!

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

The seller doesn't get notified of these questions, only past customers. You would have to ask them directly. That's because there could be 100 different sellers selling the same item, and their prices and stock levels vary.Right now when I look it shows "12 new from $19.95"

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

You're right, the price fluctuates frequently and randomly. I snagged it about 4-6 weeks ago for $550 free shipping (although not 2-day) and of course, no tax. But there seems to no reason or pattern to their price of the unit. I recommend patience to save a couple hundred dollars -- if you can wait it out.
