you asked about why prices is lower,i tried to place a order for a xti, and was somewhere around $299, just for body, they if you buy a kit it was more , about $800 depends on kit, then the surprise, they tell you , well you need this and that and the battery they send only last a 1/2 hour, and a flash card etc, etc, by the time all was said and done the price was up to $1,300. if you order, know what you are getting, not what your hoping you will get.not saying all is bad, just have them what repeat what they aare sending and know what you need.

Shopcart USA is a fraudulent company with numerous phony store listings, that in reality are scams.

i almost bought a kit today , but I called the business 1st. was told obvious lies re: lenses, which i confirmed with a sales rep @ our local camera store. Something told me to look @ Ripoffreport.com, which when I did turned up hundreds of fraud reports on @ least 20 companies whose websites I looked at, had considered buying from, and are often alias names. The stories are terrible! Also th New York Post did an article and Pc Online did an article on these camera sellers scams.

I was about to buy a camera at AJrichies. The price was more than $25 less than the same model anywhere else, and with no shipping charge I would save even more. When I looked at the prices of the accessories I became very suspicious - easily 3X more than what I would pay going to a local computer superstore or even a big box retailer. Having had a bad experience with another low price online retailer, I decided to check company reviews BEFORE I ordered. The negative reviews confirmed my suspicions.

I was very nearly sucked in by this post. I went to shopsunshine, and they have very good prices. Then I checked them out at the Better Business Bureau. They have an unsatisfactory rating and many complaints. Check them out on the BBB before buying!

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

I love Amazon.com. I have shopped here since day one. It makes me sad to see Amazon go toward the ebay direction. My "cart items" had increased overnight, too. Amazon.com has gotten too big and too unpredictable for my comfort. Ps...I don't know who is dumb enough to go buy this toy for $200 bucks...but hasn't this happen to every popular toy on the market around Christmas time...(ex..cabbage patch kids in the 80's sold for hundreds of dollars.)

Folks, I've posted this before but I'll say it again. Do not just automatically purchase TurboTax (or anything else from Amazon, for that matter) from the first window that pops up on your screen. ALWAYS click on the "New and Used" button further down the page. The initial price you see is not necessarily the lowest price you can buy the item for. For example, right now the price of TurboTax Deluxe + State + eFile is $42.50 at the top of this page. If you click on the "New and Used" button you'll see a list of other merchants who are also selling TT through Amazon. One has it for $28.99. It's the same new-in-box product that the other vendor is selling for a lot more. I did this last week and with shipping my TT Deluxe was around $32. Exact same product that others here have paid $40, $50 and more for.

Haha, happens to me too often. Now, I use camelcamelcamel (dot) com, they are basically a website that tracks prices. You can copy the url or address of the product page and copy and paste into this website and it tracks the amazon price jumps for up to a year or so, tells you when the best time to buy is and how low the item can actually go. Cheers!

I have no idea--it must be a different seller? I am not sure how this works, so can't tell you--I have always just gone with the lower price--sorry I am no help!

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.

I got this off Woot.com for $45 the other day. They sold out quick. Keep your eyes on Woot. They get stuff like this and the new robosapiens often...

Also check the 5.11 web site prices. I found them to have better prices, after I bought on amazon, and they had free shipping.

Yep..I priced items on Sat and went back to final check before hinting to my husband (as in, hand him the picture and store location or web site). When I went to print off ...all types of stuff had gone up..some $40!!! I really had to scramble to find another less known site at close (with $5) of the original price. I'm sure the merchants are marking it up --to mark it down.

Go a head and purchase it at the cheaper price. I would of done the same thing... I didn't know about petedge. Go where the price is right... No one is asking you to pay more.

yes, I do understand, but there are others online web store that willing to sell around 1,000 too.I just want to buy it from Amazon, but if it still nothing soon. I'll order from another web.One thing that I don't understand that, why others store have it but Amazon doesn't?

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

Thanks Sharon! Great tips! I, too've used the 'save for later' method, which does give you price updates, but only when you add something to cart and only until you leave the page...and good luck actually FINDING anything you saved, like you said! There's not even a search feature! It's page-by-page or NADA!

I tried to report a lower price on http://www.highrollerusa.com/ and Amazon says it's not a real URL :-) (that's where they make them-).
