$399 at Google: Why pay $470+ when you can get one straight from Google for $399?

Google does not ship international. So I can see people from outside of US paying more because of the availability.

I was wondering the same thing. The LN40B550, at $935, has a reasonable discount. I noticed that it took longer for Amazon to start shipping the B530, and BestBuy and Sears appear to often run out of that model, so maybe there is a shortage right now. (Perhaps Samsung is busy pumping out B550s instead?)

there is absolute no reason to pay more than 399 dollars from valentine1.com, its ashamed people are allowed to overcharge people here.

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.

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.

Well, I'm still interested in buying but for no more than $435. I can live with what I got so far. For the same current price I will be able to buy a new model, whenever it comes out. Just not worth paying full retail for a not the latest model.

The nexus is a great deal if you don't mind google knowing absolutely everything about you, and selling that information to others. That's why their price is so good.

Fry's has it for $1099 as of Sunday 2/8 (advertised for $1499 with $400 off instantly). Amazon is out of their mind selling this TV for $1,499.99!

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)

I can confirm that Fry's was selling it for $1499. A few weeks ago before that, Amazon had it for $1829-200 instant savings = $1629

Maybe I missed it, but I've never seen Amazon selling the tablet directly for over $499.99. It's still $499.99 right now, but ships in 1-3 weeks.

They are in high demand. Most of the time if you order it on the Google website you are going to wait a while for shipping.

No. $269 must be a mistake. $22.75 is for one. Go to their website if that's true.

I have one I removed from a new 392 last year, and might part with it. I could list it on eBay if interested. norskisemail at gmail dot com if you wish to contact me.

Well, it's an issue of supply and demand. The product is no longer manufactured, and New Old Stock - which this is - is in limited supply. Most of us who want or need this device will settle for a used or 'refurbished' one for a fraction of that $489.99 price, but sellers of the NOS item are asking the highest price they think they can get - and if you check around, you'll find that this inflated figure (roughly ten times its original retail price just several years ago) is in fact in the ballpark.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...
