Price increase: Why such a large price increase and also a large S&amp;H increase?

These used to be $3.99 a lb 20 years ago. My guess is inflation. Not sure about S&H. I wish sellers would read questions and answer them.

The reason the price jumped is that Amazon doesn't have the camera in stock (hardly anyone does -- Panasonic seems to have badly underestimated demand), and the only third-party Amazon sellers who have it are charging these ridiculous gouging prices because they think there are people willing to pay that much to get it NOW as opposed to whenever Panasonic can manufacture enough to satisfy the demand. If I were to put in an order with Amazon today (buying from Amazon at $899), I doubt I'd receive it before January at this point. There's no way I would pay $1500 for a GF1, but the official $899 price seems fair for what it is (with a lens included).

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

I ordered for $15 in August! Ridiculous! I will be finding another to purchase, particularly since the company has refused to explain the increase despite being asked to do so....

Hi there, my best guess is their costs to produce it have risen. And the price of competition (equal quality food)are higher.

i've found prices jump around on amazon based on how many times i browse items. maybe it's some clever data-tracking way to monitor my browsing and then coerce me to purchase a particular item because of fear the price is going to continue to increase, but also maybe it's just difference in suppliers as amazon draws from different suppliers for many products. are you sure the supplier is the same at $87 as the supplier was for your first purchase?

prices inflate and the cost to make the products increase over time which forces the manufactures to raise their price and it follows on down the line. Thank you.

I have the same question. Why has the price doubled again since August 2014?

Sometimes new shipments may have price increases . I work in retail and see this often. Again, it can be some thing entire my different. It is comfortable

Hello, Increases in price are due to an increase from the manufacturer. Do you have the order number from the last time you ordered this product from us, so I can see what the cost was then. Thanks, Mark at Peters Select

The price has gone up dramatically for some reason. I purchased these in June of 2013 from the same seller (Green Stuff Only) here on Amazon for $16.49 with Amazon Prime. Now the same seller is selling them for $29.99. I have no idea what could have driven the price up almost double over last year. I was hoping to buy more but am looking for alternatives at the moment.

The price of both of them fluctuates by many dollars. It seems arbitrary to me. Put the one in your cart and when you check your cart every day, you can see the fluctuations in the notices box.

I agree..... price increase is not justifiable, considering the keyboard design.

The demand is way greater than the offer. While for some products I needed to decrease the price, for others I have to increase it. That's the only way staying in business.
