How disappointing - shows price of $25 and then it disappears at the checkout - bad customer service Amazon!! What happened to the special Thanksgiving price of $25?

I found the price change upsetting, too. But since the item was already in my cart I learned that it was because the stock was depleted and the provider didn't have anymore at the lower price. - My first impulse was to blame Amazon but they proved me wrong. It apparently is not their fault.

I've been sitting here much of the day watching toy prices go up and down on this site. It's pretty ridiculous. I had items in my cart disappear, reappear, and increase in price all within four hours. I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon for this reason. During Christmas, you pretty much have to order immediately to ensure the deal. I've seen items go up by $20-$50 within 30 minutes.

I can give some discount - Amazon's commi9sssions are so high it 'kills me' as well! Let me think how best to do this, and I'll get back to U within an hour. Thanks!Steve

I ran into the same problem myself. I had it in my cart yesterday and was waiting to hear back from my brother for his input before buying this for my niece. I assumed I had plenty of timer with the Prime and even pay $3.99 for Next Day but it automatically filled in the Amazon Prime standard 2 day shipping. HOLD ON!! I just tried adding it to my cart again just now and the problem's fixed!!! You can even get it by tomorrow, Saturday for $4.99. Unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer and already bought a different gift for her. Hopefully there's still time for you. I should just refuse delivery on the other gifts I bought instead and order this one now.

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.

Happens all the time. Amazon's price seems to follow the prices of the vendors listed under "More Buying Choices." It might also be influenced by the number of people using their gift cards. If you can wait, don't be surprised if the price drops sharply in the next few weeks.Amazon doesn't have a "refund the difference" policy, so it's always a bit of a crap shoot.

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

Now 1/25/2014, it's back to $23.50 ?? Feel free to correct me, but I understand Amazon has a pricing algorithm that determines price...

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

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.

I saw it briefly for $299 about a week ago, not sure if it was Amazon or B&H; or where, but it was either Black friday or cyber Monday 1 day special; I paid about $369 last year just before Christmas on a 1 day special at Amazon.

Come on! $200 bucks!! just drop the price so you guys can sell more! Volume sales! Dont be like Bestbuy and be a sell out

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.

I called the toll free number to speak to an Amazon rep to ask about the gift card promo and was told that it was now a $50 gift card instead of the $75 offer.You have to scroll down the product page to "items bought together area" and add the computer and $50 gift card to your cart.The $50 gift card should be deducted from order total,making it a free $50 gift card.Haven't tried it just yet so not sure if it really works like that.Hope this helps you.

Sorry about that. There was a recent mixup at The Amazon fullfilment center and customers were recieving the wrong product so we raised the price so that no one will buy it and recieve the wrong thing. We hope this gets sorted out in another day or two and then the price will get back to normal. This is an unfortunate situation for us when so many of our customers want to continue their weight loss journey and we can't provide at the moment. We have plenty stock but it's our commitment to only provide you exactly what you buy so we must lose money now so that we can continue to serve you in the future. please check back in a day or two and hopefully everything will be as normal

LOL!!!! I can understand your hesitation, but I can't help explain it. It looks like a computer glitch at some point after I placed my order. You might want to actually call or drop an email to a live Amazon rep so they can fix the erroneous title.
