WTF is going on?? Why would there be a gold box deal for 199 that sells out in a minute and then sell it for regular price $208. Don't make sense.

Because these deals are not all "until we run out of stock", in the description of the sale which is just above the items ou'll see "These limited-supply offers will go quickly". Also, the offers don't go on forever, I've seen some run out of time before all he items are sold; not the case here as we have a sellout situation.60 seconds online is like geting to Walmart 60 minutes after they opened and wanting a cheap TV they only had 5 of.

Brad, there are some that cost even more than these. They are not for the iTunes crowd who are happy with audio that is not perfect; unless they have money to burn to use these on a format that they won't get the full benefit from.Personally, I would never buy these as I'd be too afraid of damaging them when I travel for business which is when I listen to music with earphones.

I clicked on the deal the very second it was available - the next ten minutes, I got "Checking Deal Status" and it just kept churning. Amazon site is very screwy today...why the hell do we spend hours here to get deals that are seemingly impossible to get?

WTF Amazon. There was no deal or on sale. You just post something you have in stock and a price you are not willing to sell. Stop all these BS. We are not naive buyers. Save your stupid tricks and pay some respect to your customers.

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.

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

Does anyone know with Amazon Gold Box deals if they ever go back to that price soon after. Like with this Panasonic I saw it for the 259.99 but I didn't have the money at the time, and now it's up to 299.99 and I'm not really that experience with Amazon sales so I was wondering if anyone knows if it's likely to go back to the 259.99 deal any time soon. I just cant bring myself to get it if I know I could had it for $40 cheaper :(

Hi thanks for responding. It has been corrected. Showed 1.99 and then when I opened the page it went to $7+.

Not a major deal for me, since I didn't pay anything for shipping and I grabbed this for the discount rather than any pressing need for storage. I'm now starting to wonder since it's been a few days and this still hasn't shipped. Seems like Amazon must have oversold this item when they made this a gold box special. Which is weird since they normally limit the number of items sold at the deal price to prevent this from happening. If you paid for expedited shipping it might be worthwhile to contact Amazon to see if you can get a refund for shipping without canceling your order. I don't know if they'd do it or not but it seems like a reasonable request for something that's been unexpectedly put on back order.

I saw it online this morning at beachcamera & buydig for 1224.95, then later this afternoon its up to 1294.95. Seems like the price changes by the hour unfortunately.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

I don't get that either. I always buy from this store and today I found out that it has increased by more than 100%. What's up with that? I bought it regularly, but I won't ever again.

I found the same thing. I was waiting for it to be a gold box deal, but it never showed up and now when you click on the goggles page, it shows it is $68.88, same price as Wal Mart.

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

I bought mine for $1634. Google the goldbox trick!! Ever since circuity city went out of business the prices here have been outrageous here at amazon. I bought a tv for my daughter today for $22 more than amazon at best buy. I've purchased $5000 worth of tvs here in the last 6 months. I can't believe that amazon is so uncompetitive. Time, patience and the goldbox trick =)

It's posted $39 off the retail. It was showing something like $3 off, but I think that was an error. Sure looks tempting to me.....

Because prices on Amazon constantly fluctuate. The main provider can and do change their prices based upon numerous things/ What you do is put the item of interest in your cart. Then check your cart once a day. It often goes down. But you find if you are patient it goes down even further. It's the Amazon price game. They are not in control of all these things. Maybe some. It really is a game for your patience and guessing. Like gambling with you $20. I've left things sit in my cart for months!

One place on amazon has it listed at 19.99 and one has it listed for $89. The item numbers and all the details are the same. Am I missing something?
