Just got mine in hand yesterday, ordered it Monday.....so far so good...hooked it up for the drive to work just to get familiar with it.....seems to be a great gadget. Going to order another one now for my gf for a X-mas gift. Great deal @ $249. I wonder how much more it can go down from here until X-Mas?

Hi Kwilt. Fellow Cheesehead here (Waukesha). Very glad to see 2009 map version shipping with these. Saves me time and hassle. Guess I should have left mine at 'free shipping' instead of next day :-)I'm interested in the SW version that comes with it. Is it 4.5 or something else? Thanks!Mike D

I ordered mine yesterday from Amazon, (249.29) got it today with free shiping! It does have the 2009 map. It came with 4.0 and it updated to 4.2 when I installed the Garmin Communicator. Not sure what this did for it, but it still does not recognize the new parts of our freeway, and my old 660 w/updated 2009 map does recognize the freeway. I just talked to Garmin, they say try it again tomorrow. They think it my have been some type of satellite allignment problem.

I can't imagine that the answer from Garmin makes any sense. Further a 2009 map on one device should show the same details and POIs that another (760) running 2009 has. Mine came today with 2009 maps and 3.x software. I've now upgraded to 4.2 There were other updates also made to the traffic receiver, GPS (MediaTek) chipset and BT version.

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

I buy tools from Amazon and they will drop a price for just a few minutes to create some excitement. They will get crazy sometimes like 75% off. Part of the game. You need to jump when you see it. That price may be gone in 30 sec.If you want to keep tabs on a price, put the item in your wish list and check it often. The updated price will show.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

Our prices fluctuate rapidly (up and down) in reaction to market conditions and our price is currently $175.99. We have no knowledge of ever offering a price of $156.79 although we did previously offer a lower price than the current price. Do you have an order number? Perhaps your order was in your cart for several days and prices increased in the interim or you are getting us confused with another seller. Please advise, thank you.

Demand was outpacing supply. So they raised the price to decrease the demand. ECON 101It's working for me, they can keep it. No way I'm paying 30 bucks for this.

Same here. I've been watching these prices for close to 7 months and the drop has not been significant enough for me to purchase yet. I will jump in when it drops below 2K.

I got it for 499 this morning... an hour later, when my friend decided to purchase it also, it jumped 50 bucks.

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony

I was about to order, but then saw the price increase. I've felt like I was watching commodity trading on the pricing the last couple of weeks. Just a guess on my part, but perhaps they are starting to receive units with the new 2009 maps, and that is the reason for the uptick in price? Again, merely an uneducated guess on my part. I'm looking at pcrush(d0tc0m) to order at $235 now.

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part. I guess January has become gouge month or something.

It's hard to tell. Amazon sporadically raises and lowers prices on 99.9 percent of their products. If it goes down grab it immediately, because if you wait five minutes it may go back up.

I just bought mine @ that price you described. Then I checked back today and the price shot up to $931.

Since Jan 1 we have had increases from the manufacturer, increases from all of the carriers, and increases from Amazon. Sorry if we are unable to continue to sell at a previous rate and all other sellers have also had to increase as well or just stop selling. thank you for understanding we would love for it to stay the same but we cannot control these increases. Kind regards

I didn't realize TV's trade like stocks these days??? I had it in my cart for $1055.00 on 8/24 in the AM and an hour later it went to $1,100+, now its $1,222? Funny how I have never seen anything go down in price after putting in my cart. I've seen things go down a bit when in saved items but never when you're ready to check out. I'm a huge Amazon fan but someone is playing games here.

BTW, I paid $219 Shipped from right here for this same Grinder. Keep you eyes peeled, it might drop again to this price, otherwise, maybe look elsewhere for a better deal for now.
