Price Drop? The price difference is small but I was still wondering if Amazon's 30 days price matching (they refund the price difference if the price drops within 30 days) is active?

Why have these jumped $100? Yeah, they are discontinued but the replacement model are close to $200 also. What's the deal?

Amazon only price matches (gives you a refund) if you bought it from them , not one of their third-party sellers. Also, the lower price must be from them.I bought it when it was at $2899 and got two refunds to make it $2699. I always use the call me immediately button uder the Help section to do this.Also, the shipper they used got it to me 6 days before when Amazon said I'd have it.

Since my purchase just prior to Christmas, it has dropped about $100 bucks...which Amazon has refunded to me and will if you notify them of the price drop within 30 days of purchase. REMEMBER..you must notify THEM, or no refund will be given!

Jeff, Prices are always fluctuating on Amazon. It depends on popularity of the listing, rank, etc. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

Yeah me too: I've had to wait until my target purchasing week (this week) and have had to endure Amazon teasing and tempting me to buy Buy BUY with those coupon codes! (It's like Deal or No Deal up in here!) and now this week when I can finally act on it, no coupon. :( bummer!The price dropped though, so I guess it's not TOO bad a loss.

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.

Now 1/25/2014, it's back to $23.50 ?? Feel free to correct me, but I understand Amazon has a pricing algorithm that determines price...

I'm not sure if there is an exact way to compare prices directly, between Amazon and local retailers. All you can really do is double check the item stats (model number, etc.) and go from there --- compare the prices on your own.

As the customer below said. You need to add all your information and it shows at the checkout. There is a chance Amazon would price match after the fact, but I don't really want to take that chance. Still holding out hope they will match beforehand.

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.

Dear Megan, Prices do vary from time to time. Amazon tends to drop prices to wholesale pricing or below at times to spur interest. Going into the holidays I expect you will less discounts on such popular items. The other thing to watch is the difference between a lower selling price but with shipping costs and a higher price with free shipping. Such changes may look at first glance like the price has increased greatly when the actual shipped cost is the same or very similar.

I must agree, the pricing is all over the map. I often leave items in my cart (the "save for later" function) and doing that I get to easily track price changes that occur over time. I've noticed many items on Amazon fluctuate on an almost daily basis by a few cents to a few dollars. However this printer seems to experience huge swings in pricing - it was $680 yesterday, today's it's down to $599.

I bought this TV a couple of weeks ago (and it is fantastic) and already received a $60 credit due to price drop. I checked this morning and the price was down ANOTHER $100, so I sent in a request for the additional refund. Several hours later, I received a note from Amazon that they couldn't price match Marketplace sellers and yada yada and now I check and the current price is UP $200 from earlier today! So yeah, it's changing faster than the price for gas at a gas station. I should have documented (somehow) what the price was at when I sent in my 2nd request. I'll keep paying attention though!

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

Amazon prices can fluctuate from hour-to-hour. Just know that you can always call customer service and request a price adjustment for the lower price for 30 days after your purchase. Most likely the price will come down again, just keep watching it.

Amazon will refund you if the price drops in 30 days. Here is a webtool can help: http://nukeprice.com

I just bought this TV yesterday and noticed it went up a couple $$ today. Don't worry about the timing though because Amazon has price guarantee for 30 days. They'll refund you the difference (is what I've read) if the price goes down within the 30 day time frame.
