How could I possibly be number 500 on the wait list when I clicked onto buying this just seconds after the deal became available, something is rotten.

Fixed that for ya:"How could I possibly have found the Internet and think I'm the only human online perusing Amazon, my brain is rotten."

I received my purchase, you have to stay close to the timer and you dont know when that timer will popup, when the timer pops up you have a just the time in that popup to add it to your cart and purchase it..so you gotta be fast and be online and watch closely. Good luck with your next lightening deals..

Because there was thousands clicking aswell as you and theres bound to be loads that clicked even a milli second before you! its an amazing deal everyone would have been on it! Common sense omg. I got a 42 earlier on the uk one for 230 pounds. I was on the waiting list with a poor chance of getting it and i still got it! People click straight away then decide and change their mind, i didnt think i had a chance but i did! So do you.

According to Amazon, about 2000 people got the deal. I was lucky to get it after being about #500 on the waitlist. This is a simple barebone TV. I expect to see this deal again later in the week. Good luck to everyone!! For those wondering...YES there are thousands of people waiting until the clock hits zero. My advice is to claim the deal and then look at the product during the 10-15 minutes that you have to proceed through checkout. I am concerned that more than 500 gave-up on the deal, probably because of the generic brand name.EDIT: This deal looks like a week-long sale. Expect to see 2000 units a day through Friday.

How many others out there got this deal? I got lucky and was able to snatch one!

I was able to click it right away and did get the purchase - missed earlier today on the ipod 16gb so didn't have much hope for this one...but it worked.

Got mine. Delivery Friday. Replacing older TV with this one. For $147 + tax, there is nothing to complain about.

Guess I got lucky, I hit buy as soon as the box appeared, It went to 98% claimed in seconds.

There obviously some sort of glitch on this web page. I'm looking at the page now and the price is $249.99

Probably have to contact customer service. I know these types of listings can be annoying.

I don't know why that would be happening. I tried it myself, went to the item and added it to my cart, and the picture looks the same there as it did on the description page. You might want to contact Amazon customer service and ask them about it to make sure you get what you think you're ordering. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have thought so too. The dramatic price drop now got me suspicious. After seeing the negative reviews around these days I believe you're right. I should have thought about this before buying this piece. Like J. Brooks, I am crossing my fingers. Please don't make me deal with customer service one more time!

Have you been charged yet? check your order and see what the price is. if you can change your order and it hasn't shipped and the price is 299 there then just cancel and order again

The instant it became available, it said 27% claimed. Then I clicked add to cart right when the deal showed up. 100% claimed. THERE IS NO WAY anyone could have got through the checkout in less than 4 seconds, let alone have all the items be claimed. So glad I specifically got up early for that so called deal.

Same here! Very disappointing. The item is under review now and it looks like they have corrected the listing. :(

Have you tried entering a random purchase date? I don't see how the original purchase date would matter

It's probably an automated listing. The same thing happens on eBay when the seller has low stock, the item price is calculated based on availability.

Calling Amazon won't help, either. No one can explain why you are still on the "wait list", but you can buy the item at full price.

Yea, I'm a little pissed. There was no link to the listing, so I couldn't add it to my cart. I sat here with my finger over the button waiting until 5, and the page refreshed and it told me all were taken!!!!Edit: This is not an answer... just a gripe. I didn't realize it was an "answer" box and not a "comment" box.

This is silly, I was waiting to see if there would be 36 month financing on this, now they have upped the price. I'll wait, way to price yourself out of a sale Amazon.

Many vendors seem to have gotten more pre-orders than they could handle, including Amazon itself. Vendors do seem to get getting additional units as time goes on, so I don't think you've missed out at all. Just be a little patient or look for a different vendor that has the item definitely listed as in stock.

I couldn't wait any longer, and found that a nearby Worst Buy had 1 in stock. Picked it up for $600 after tax. Canceled the Amazon pre-order.Hooked it up last night and re-introduced myself to my neighbors.

The rep I talked to said she couldn't do...had to send me to "hardlines" whatever that is. She said she would send an email.Go to your order page though, and find the "found a lower price?" link and submit a claim.
