Bait and Switch: How is Amazon can advertise the Huffy Green Machine @ $79.99 and then when I go to the site it is $119??????????

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.

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?

Thanks Stitch... the address didn't come out but I found it anyhow. First click on the "Used and New" link, then add Amazon's item to your cart, then click on the item link through your cart. The rebate is listed. E.A. - I'm surprised they even told you they'd email it. The rep that responded to my email basically told me go to h---.

What I can't understand is why Amazon let's these sellers get away with selling these false promises. I'll probably go back to Ebay!!!!!

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 ordered FOUR of these chairs from Amazon.com LLC for a total of $96.76 on October 9, 2013. After waiting 3 months, I was contacted via email from amazon to see if is anted to cancel or continue waiting. For that price - I was willing to wait a year! I was skeptical given the price for all four but several other commenters verified that they had reviewed the order as well or were still waiting. In December I contacted Amazon myself - first via Chat and then via phone - to ask if these chairs were correctly priced and would indeed ship. I was assured that they were all four for that price and that they would be shipped but could not be told when. I was okay with that. I then SPECIFICALLY asked if Amazon was going to cancel this order -- because the price had since tripled on the item. I was ASSURED that wouldn't happen. In January, I received an email that this order was canceled. When I called amazon.com to discuss this - I was told by a manager named YUMIKO C. that there was noting they could so and that she was sorry I was misinformed. And that I could reorder the item now- at $385!!!! This entire order went from "seems to good to be true" - to being assured that it Was legit - to feeling scammed. VERY disappointed in this experience from start to finish.

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.....

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!

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 missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

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.

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

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!!

Actually people buy it here from Amazon at cost and then immediately re-list it at a much higher cost. It happens all over the site with other items, and I wish Amazon would find a way to curb this practice. Then again, if people stop buying at these insane prices, perhaps re-sellers will get the idea as well.
