Do you have any neighbors who shop at Costco? Members can get the 30 minute Flip for $89.00. I saw that price yesterday there, 7/12/07.

Ditto only I saw it on DealNews.I'm impressed with the camcorder but not with Amazon's BS.Thanks for making a statement that I can follow up on.

Keep an eye on PureDigitalinc.com the website. They offer $30.00 rebates every once in awhile...

The $119.99 price is a reference to the suggested retail price of the 30 minute camcorder, which is now on sale for $103.83. It is misleading of Amazon if the flash ad led you to the 60 minute camcorder which is sold at a higher price point.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help. I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago.

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)

Suggest passing on this 2008 vintage camera in any event. No Specs, Camera Views Questionable, + a 2008 ( ANCIENT ) Review By M. E. Belanger on October 4, 2013 This appears to be the Corporate Gambit, 'Gimme your MONEY'. SELLING CORPORATION DID NOT RESPOND to questions concerning this product... No specs, a review from the year 2008 (ANCIENT in Tech time), articles concerning false reviews (a felony crime in US), ... ... ... $1199.99 + taxes... NO NO NO NO Yeah, I'll purchase this camera based on this information. NO NO NO NO NO Notice how MSRP's have risen to show a greater discount for the unsuspecting consumers, us??? + + + I enjoy shopping Amazon.com, &, most of the time, I even smile as I let go of a few $$$... Feels, most of the time that has gotten a fair shake purchasing through Amazon, & didn't have to sort through a group/flock/gaggle of retail store commissioned SALES staff/'vultures', which is always a treat (facetiously). + + + Caveat Emptor [Latin, Let the buyer beware.], "the principle that the buyer alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made"...

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!

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.

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!

I've been watching the ice color for about a month and a half. It's been fluctuating between 279$ and 299$ Today I found it for 239$ from Amazon, the rebate ends in 3 days, but they send you 40$ back and a free book and also a mag subscription. I opted for the free shipping, and Amazon has an offer thru the 30th of Sept if you use their Amazon shop card. So I got the mixer in the color I've been wanting [hopefully it's cool} for 199$,[after rebate] free shipping, no tax and 6 months to pay it off, with no interest if you pay it within the 6 months. Yowsa I'm happy!

The way that these cameras should be sold is in packs of two for approximately $125.00As retail in an apple store you will find two cams offered as the sale it. I had the same question regarding a retailer on eBay who was selling just one cam for the price of two while showing the picture of the "box" set. Same with one of the sellers on Amazon. Make sure you are getting two from the transaction. Good luck.

I just picked mine up from Best Buy in Houston. They have one more left. Dallas store have them also. Funny thing is that they are listed for $9,999.99. I had to get a manager involved, when the not so bright clerk was arguing with me that it was a $10K camera. The manager ended up selling it for the correct price.

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...! Yes I also noticed that.

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?
2055053
I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

I'm not so sure about that. Sure there are better camcorders out there now, but they're also more expensive. Unless you absolutely must have bleeding edge technology, I don't see any reason not to pick up a camcorder that's a couple years old at a discounted price. If it was amazing 2 years ago, it's still quite good today.
1292560
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.
1762531
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 have to agree there is something afoot here. I bought what I thought was table and chairs and discovered later that price was for the table alone; the photo doesnt change from offer to offer and I had been watching the ads for a chance to buy at a good price. If the table was a problem, I now own 8 chairs for exactly the same reason. Who says lightning wont strike twice? Friends convinced me not to make a fuss and to distribute the chairs through out my home, which Ive done. The day I bought my chairs they were selling for 223.00 for 2 chairs. However, everyone here thought that was a good price to pay for two of these extrordinary chairs.
