Sears has it for 2599 and if you pay with a sears card you get an additional 10% off

I think the price went up because Sony was having a promotion that if you bought the TV together with a home theater system, the home theater system was essentially free. Now that the promo is over, I suspect the TV price will drop.

I did check out PriceMad after I posted and there are way too many negative comments. I did buy the KDL 52W3000 from Amazon, thru their dealer, J&R-----.; I checked J&R; out and comments/reviews are great. I got it for $2199 with free s&H.; and it has been shipped, so they say.Whoopee!

Yes, the 52w3000 was at $2499 just a few weeks ago. Suddenly the price jumped to $2608, now I am waiting for the price to drop again...

From the Sears website, if you put the TV in your cart, it is still 2999. Maybe their promo is over?

At Sears right now you can get this TV for $2299.00 with 24 months free financing or $200.00 cash back.

Stay away from buying this TV from New York. There's a lot of gray market junk coming out of NYC. Circuit City has this for $2399. Also keep an eye out for 10% off coupons for CC in the Sunday paper.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can afford to until after superbowl.BTW, I noticed that Amazon got rid of the MAP price for this TV today. The price is 1139 officially on the site. No adding to the cart business.

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(

Uhh, $458 for used TV?! I guess the seller didn't get the memo that you can buy a brand new Samsung 32" for around $350 on sale today.

I have no idea. But I plan on buying this TV off of Amazon within the next 2-3 weeks so I HOPE they still have it listed for sale then!!!

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.

The $999 is such a super deal, that Amazon very quickly runs out of the stock each time they offer it. I have seen twice this happening after only 24-36 hours of this TV being available. I guess Amazon does not have the certainty of whether and/or when it will receive new stock from Samsung, and does not want to have customers disatisfied due to backordering (a common cause of complaints and negative reviews in other vendors sites). The previous time I had exactly your experience. I saw the deal, thought about it for a few hours, and by then it was gone. This time, as soon as I saw it back in stock, I immediately pressed the "place your order" button. This was on 1/15/10. I am looking forward to receiving the TV in a few days.

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.

Deb,,I've had our Seiki TV now for a little over a year now and so far so good. Of course it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like a Samsung TV but then again, a 40" Samsung is like $300 more than what I paid. As I said into review, I got a great deal on a Black Friday apecial at Brandsmart that was muck lower than any deals I've seen on Amazon. It even has 3 HDMI connections that is more than some of the more expensive models. Hope that answeed your question.

Great price! How did you negotiate down from the MSRP to $2,100? Did you do this in the store and talk with a manager? Was it part of a package deal (tv, blu-ray, surround sound, installation, etc.)? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

I think all of the items increased price in the Amazon. I compared the price in a week ago on the samsung TV. They increased while the other dealer not increase the price.

The lighning deal was 400., it's now listed at 548., but I'd imagine it may drop in the next month or so. The model came out in 2008, I believe. I've had it less than a week now, so far seems very good. I really haven't had a chance to fully explore it yet. Using it as a bedroom TV.

Amazon is out of stock...Samsung has discontinued this TV and is moving on to their 2008 models.

Yeah you are right from last 4 weeks prices at amazon are hovering between 1799 to 1899. Last weekend for couple of days BB decreased the price to 1799 when it was 1899 at amazon. But before i could get hold of the price they increased it back to 1999 (saturday midnight). Let see if it comes back down again by this weekend. I don't see amazon going below1 1799. The similar model LN46A860(Toc Blue) is being offered for 1599. Don't know why, but id prices don't settle may be i will go for this model. tech Specs are same.

I also called Samsung & they referred me to a local company. They want $90 just to come out but since we can't afford to fix it right now, we have been waiting. I have read a lot of people having this issue but samsung denied it. It's a shame that a fairly new tv is having such problems. I guess that they don't make them like they use to! Let me know if you get a tech out there & the outcome. I know mine will have to wait, no job, no money.
