From $899 to $1169..what is next? I'll probably buy this when it drops below $900 again, but the price of this unit has been all over the place.They changed the financing, too. It was 12 months 0% when it was $899, now it is 24 months 0%. the 24mths thing lasts until September 30. Guess we'll have to wait for Columbus Day sales to see the next price drop?

Unfortunately that seems to be the case. I was on the fence about buying this TV set for our bedroom, but there is no way with this new price tag that they're getting my money. I'm with you ... probably wait till the price drops below $900 again.

C. McGehee says:"Frys .com has it on sale this week for $899. "The in-store price in Austin, TX was $749 (plus tax, of course). I was going to wait a few more months, but my CRT TV picked that week to die and my attempts at resurrection failed (I know the horizontal circuit is blowing a resistor, but I don't know why) so I pulled the trigger. I was in the store anyway to buy a high frequency transistor for the old CRT...Crutchfield had $740 with free shipping through October. Would have been about $70 cheaper after factoring in tax but it's nice to have the local return option. C. McGehee says:"Frys .com has it on sale this week for $899.

I timed my purchase perfectly last month. $849 with a free Tom Tom and 12 mo financing.

It appears that the price changes. It should be possible to get the remanufactured unit for about 60% of the list price of the new unit.

Like all store policies...prices are subject to change with notice. I think when inventory builds up they drop the price and when the inventory is down they raise to the normal levels. It is very cheap now, but I'll be waiting until Nov/Dec to get the best deal.

I bought this at Amazon for $998 on Thanksgiving day. It then went to $1038 and then to $1088 and now $1225. I don't think it will go back down again.

Amazon had it below 999.00 1 1/2 months ago. I believe it will be there again. Then I will buy!

Thank you for your inquiry. I have sent the link to our listing department to double check the posted pricing. Please watch the listing Tuesday to see if it has changed. Thank you!

9I have been Buying off Amazon for over Ten Yrs.This happens all the time.One just has to wait and check back daily and pull the trigger when you think the price has bottomed . I bought one BK9 one week for 71.00 and a couple days Later it was 61.00 and some change .So I bought a second one at the lower price. Now I have 2 each...

It wasn't, when I purchased ours. I don't know what it's selling for now, but ours started at $2600, and we watched it slowly go down over several weeks. It hit $1900 for a day or so, then began to rise. I purchased it at $2350. Amazon lets the prices "float", for some marketing reason. Great TV, corner mounted...makes me smile just walking into the room!

Yeah I was lucky enough to get it in the middle of march for 1580 then i saw the price went down to 1499 and i called amazon and got a refund for the 81 dollars. I would log on at different times to see the price and found that the price could change a few hundred dollars each day depending on who the seller is. Nine times out of ten it was from amazon though. My guess is that they just plain ran out of them, they were a steal.

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

Everyone just wait - the price of LCD's are dropping 3-4% each quarter, and in this economy, stores and online retailers are stuck with excess inventory - less than a month ago the price of this TV was $1494, and today it's over $110 more - that's absolutely ridiculous. At Best Buy in my area (near Philadelphia, PA) an open-box unit of this TV was selling for $1,609.99 - when a place like Best Buy (with their prices typically $300-$400 more than Amazon) comes close to Amazon prices for an open box unit, I believe that is an indication that supply is increasing at reasonable prices and the price both online and offline will likely be driven down in turn!

Hey Guys, I feel the same way. I've been watching the price (LN52A650) since April when it debuted and have noticed the price flucuations starting just a few months ago. I don't get it. You mention the popularity of the new Samsung line. I think it has really gained momentum the last month or two. A lot of the retailers, (e.g. Sears, BB, Circuit City, etc.) have been pushing the whole Samsung line in their advertisments. I'm just hoping the price resumes its price decline come early fall before the start of the X-mas shopping season. Just acquired my upgraded NAD A/V receiver and TV console for the Samsung, just need the TV now. Hey Guys, I feel the same way.

Put it in your cart and then watch it for about a month, checking your cart daily, if possible. That is what I do with just about anything that I am thinking of buying from Amazon and I know that it has been at lower prices before. My art usually has about three pages of items being "save for later" and all I need to do is check the cart and there is a synopsis of all price changes of any item being held there. I put all non-urgent items that I just feel like buying and can wait for the price to drop to what I want to pay for it.

I paid $2 plus $2 shipping. It is currently shown as $4. My guess is the price changes with popularity. I would keep watching and buy when it drops!

I contacted customer support, they believe that it will become available but not sure when. If you buy not you will get the sale price, I purchased it at $188.04 it has gone up in price, they will charge the money when it is shipped. I did get an estimate at first of it being available in August but the next representative could not confirm that time frame. I am moving August 15th and i am hoping this will be a great addition to my new place with out having to wait months for it.

Agreed... they need to lower the price. I would buy it here for even $20 more for a new one ($420) so I could get it interest free for 6 months but I'm not paying $80-$90 more
