Buy.com's customer service agreed to match the price ($100 refund) and mentioned that credit department will contact me within 24-48 hours. That was 3 days back. I have not heard from them since. I am losing credibility with buy.com.

Samsung LN52B630 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of ColorI tried to purchase this television at Best Buy on Sat. 12/19/09 when the sale price was $1,289, it was in my cart around 10:00 pm and I stopped to join the Best Buy rewards program, then returned to purchase the set. When I did THE PRICE HAD INCREASED $110!! When I attempted to contact Best Buy about this I spent 15 minutes on hold till I gave up and went to bed angry. I did email them to complain but have heard nothing since. I learned a lesson - don't buy from Best Buy. Happy ending, Amazon had it a few days later at that price with fee shipping and no sales tax so I am happy now.

I bought it from Amazon for $1389 like December 10th-ish with no blu-ray. I complained to customer service after I received the TV and they refunded me $100 and gave me the blu ray player for free. So I guess it's worth a shot if Buy.com's customer service is as good as Amazon.com's.

The LN52B630 isn't listed as a qualifying model for the free blu-ray player...how'd u guys make it work?!

I just bought this 52" 2 days ago, for $1298.00 but they didn't offer the blue-ray. How can you get the phone number from Buy.com' cuctomer service. Thank you for your info.

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

Um, there is. Amazon is listing it for $4.50, fifty cents cheaper than on the alternate sites you mentioned. If there was once an incorrect price, it's been fixed.

It's an Amazon glitch. I've had it happen before with other products. Amazon won't offer the lower price, only what shows on the actual product page. However, if the price drops after you've paid for it and amazon has shipped it, you can ask them to give you back the price difference.

I have been watching the price of this HDTV as well and I think that the practice of offering a coupon (which implies a discount) but then increasing the price by more than the value of the coupon is very misleading. It would seem from the comments above/below that other consumers feel the same way.

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!

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

Not sure what Amazon's price was before with freebies, but I gather its price (compared with others on the Amazon site) reflects that the freebies aren't really free. On the 24th Sony Style store was selling it in store for 2200 with free financing options. Not sure about today.

Tech Geek, appreciate your view. How is SR11 working for you ? Junior Piquito, I noticed that AbesOfMaine is selling it for 730 (plus free bag). I've been following prices on various web sites for 4-5 weeks now. At one point, Amazon.com dropped to 790. I don't know why it shot back up. I've never bought anything from AbesOfMaine before and have had a wonderful experience with Amazon.com shipping and customer service so far. I am going to wait out another week and if it doesn't drop, will buy it from the other place. I hope amazon can offer competitive price.

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99 When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

Amazon moves prices often. Just a luck of the draw thing. It sucks that amazon got rid of its 30 day pricematch guarantee. Your only chance is that the camera is out of stock for a couple of weeks. Amazon will give you the price difference if the item hasnt shipped, so I would order it and then you would have about 4 weeks for it to drop again(just have to check daily) and let amazon know.

It's an old marketing trick -- it sets a floor price in your mind. Your are stuck evaluating the $100 difference and the $399 (original) price doesn't seem quite as bad. So, you buy the baseline product and think you saved $100.

I got an extremely good deal on the 550, I paid for the 550 brand new ($319; amazon/free 2 day shipping) and it only cost me $20 more than the 350 ($299 at wal-mart). I have no problems with the 550 at all. It's played every blu ray I've put in it.

Steve, I got it right here at Amazon. They must have only had a couple because they raised the price right back up after i bought mine. I doubt that you'll see that price anytime soon. I guess i got lucky. Amazon is very weird like that. They have great deals but you gotta watch out for them. I wish i could have got a free pair of glasses with it but i'm not complaining. I got a pair off ebay for $70 bucks. 3D is pretty cool. BYE

The list price is $439.99 to as low as $419.99 on Sony Store - Amazon sometimes sells lower than that. If you added to the cart which says "Sold by Amazon" with free shipping and found the price to be $299.00 you got yourself a great deal. Make sure you confirm you buy from Amazon Directly they cannot sell used products. But Amazon Market place can sell used products - Watch out!

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

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!
