Why has the price on this item increased by almost $4 in one week???

Supply and demand, when supply runs low on items it is typical that prices increase in marketplaces all across the world.

I bought three for around $16 each on Amazon. I think they fluctuate the price because some folks add them to their Save For Later list in their shopping carts and wait for the prices to drop. Vendors change the price all the time so the notifications pop up in the cart indicating the price change. I agree with the others, challenge the price with Amazon. At worst, they'll probably have you send the one you have back as a return and let you buy again at the listed price (and hope it stays low!).

I had this in my shopping cart this week at $54 and two days later it just jumped again to $70.00 <<< rather crazy? Costco sells this so I will start buying local

Hi, Not sure who you are asking this is a random message board but I can say this particular item had a price increase from the manufacturer so that is probably why we have no control over that but I know it did not double. Thanks

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

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

Yeah, what's with the price hike? These were like $6 or $7 a week ago. Amazon's pricing sucks.

You are so right and Amazon had this for $16.54 in October. The price has gone up even more since your post!

Thank you for your inquiry. I have sent the link to our listing department to double check the posted pricing. Please watch the listing Tuesday to see if it has changed. Thank you!

It was probably offered for $9.71 by a 3rd party seller who did not include the shipping costs into their list price. This annoys me when it happens too.

Fast forward to today and the price just went up from $398 to $598.........but it was only $398 a couple of days ago.

Prices fluctuate. If you shop on Amazon long enough, you'll find that prices for certain item categories (like physical books) are more stable than others (like personal electronics). It almost certainly wasn't a straight shoot from $17 to $28. The price probably rose and dropped, rose and dropped, before eventually reaching $28.00. And it's possible that the $17 price listing was from another vendor than the $28 price listing. $17 sounds awful low for this product. I'm guessing the $17 price was from a third party--not shipped and sold directly by Amazon. Marketplace sellers will sometimes lower the item price to draw customers in, only to raise the shipping and handling to more than compensate for the subtotal deduction. Keep an eye on the price--check it every day. In my experience, if the price reached $17 once, it probably will again. But it might take a few more months to get there.

I have been watching the price on amazon and it alwasy varied between 611 to 650. but all of sudden they raised it to $999, it doesnt make any sense to any one after looking at this. Are they trying to create a hype or just want to kill the product? whatever so it is not a wise decision in either way.

Since you didn't specify price, I'm not sure what you're blathering on about. It is presently $58 (I got it a few days ago for $55), which is less than the average of .10 a piece.

Hi, Price depends up on the Manufacturer/Distributor, because if they increased or reduced the price then we should change the price as per the manufacturer. Thanks.

That's a ridiculous price jump!! It's still $34.99 with $4.99 shipping directly from Honeyville..I'll be going back to ordering from them!! Disappointing!

I paid $2 plus $2 shipping. It is currently shown as $4. My guess is the price changes with popularity. I would keep watching and buy when it drops!
