why is Amazon charging so much for it?

shipping cost , they need to ship in priority mail so that we freeze it when we receive

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive.

It's up to $199.00 now.. I can't believe this of Amazon, I've always trusted them - this place is getting as bad as Ebay!!

It's not Amazon. All the prices are from Third party retailers that Amazon allows to operate through their site. Unless the product says sold and fufilled by Amazon, then it's not officially them. Amazon has sold out of this figure. Pretty much every site and store has, that's why third party sellers have it so high. Scalping at it's finest.

This is from amazon customer service-((I checked our previous correspondence and see that my colleague has already issued a promotional credit of $12.41)) If you will forego the shipping charges(with free shipping) I will use this credit to pay for another charger-I need that charger very soon-it is the key to my only transportation-otherwise I have to walk a very long ways!!

The price is not amazons. (you can see the store name above the add it to cart button).Amazon allows private sellers to list on there, whether it is a store or just someone selling it from home. Amazons fees for listing a product are so high, that's why i think they listed it for so much. I would check on ebay, they are selling for $49.99 on there right now.

Because sellers think they can get that price. Amazon is a huge marketplace of sellers marketing their wares. The thing they don't understand is that I will not become a regular customer of theirs if they are going to change prices drastically for no reason. If I buy something for say, $28.00 and then the next time I come back it's $48.00, then I will not buy it from that seller. I will look elsewhere, usually Ebay. I think it's ridiculous and it just goes to show you that the sellers are in it for the fast buck and not to build a business or relationships with their customers. For that reason, they will never have my loyalty as a customer.

Our price on Amazon is not the $73.28 that you are seeing. That price is being offered by another seller.

Because Amazon allows several different vendors to sell products through their marketplace. The search result reflects the lowest price among those vendors, and that won't always be Amazon. If that's the case, you'll see that low price over on the right hand side of the page. I am usually inclined to spend a few bucks more and get something from Amazon though.

Probably because whoever you bought it from was tired of losing money and going out of business. A lot of "sellers" on Amazon think that a cheaper price will bring them more business and eventually go broke.

The seller may have raised the price since the email was sent. The price on the listing is the price Amazon is selling it for, there are 6 other sellers and the least expensive one has it for $43.90.

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

Umm Amazon price is not correct. $499 IS the MSRP so the supposed savings are non-existent

You're looking at offerings from "third party" sellers, so Amazon is not setting the price, they're just handling the shipping of the item. I don't see any listings where Amazon is the actual seller, only the shipper, so don't blame them for the pricing, that's determined by the third party seller.

These resellers are making Amazon like Ebay. Charging 35 bucks for standard shipping, really?

Was your order total over $35? If not, that is why you got charged for shipping. If it was over $35, contact Amazon customer service.
