Why does Amazon give the list price as $14.99 when the manufacturer's website sells it for $9.99?

If you look at the manufacturer's site there is also shipping and handling of $5.95. Amazon is free shipping for Prime customers and also free shipping on some sites for $35.00 orders. Hope this helps.

One place on amazon has it listed at 19.99 and one has it listed for $89. The item numbers and all the details are the same. Am I missing something?

Mine displays $16.99 US. Make sure you are on http://amazon.com, not .co.uk.

The price new is $9,999, not $999. The $999 one must be the cut rate version they sell to discount electronics sores.

Looks to me like Amazon and Sony have it listed for the same price - $1,199.99

Agree. This is one of things that annoys me about Amazon. I know I can get the product label somewhere else, but why should I have to do that? Very annoying. Initially, I put up with it because I thought Amazon has the best prices, always, but I've discovered it's not true. For example, l bought this product locally for $8.39 regular price, same size.

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

Amazon lists not only prices for items it sells (through retail partnerships), but also from third party retailers that have entered into partnership with Amazon. Thus, when you search for an item, you might be presented with numerous offers at different prices, with different shipping, from many different retailers. Sometimes for whatever reason, one of these retailers will have the product for a really cheap price, but one that retailers supply is sold out, the next least expensive retailer will appear in the search results. I suspect that some retailer had your item for $8.22 on 1/5, but between then and 1/9 all of their stock was sold out and the $14.99 price reflects the next best price.

It was probably offered for $9.71 by a 3rd party seller who did not include the shipping costs into their list price. This annoys me when it happens too.

There is some independent seller (for some reason?) selling for that price, but through ReSqueeze and Amazon they are $14.99 :)

My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding? The promotions were offered by Amazon and whats more the promotions even indicated the current market price to indicate how big a discount was on offer!Also, by saying "There are several million items listed on our website, this makes it impossible for us to check the price of every item" are you implying that Amazon does not have internal controls on whats on its website and thereby everything on your website is unreliable? Amazon and its CS team need to get your act together. My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding?

I had the exact same question. It's surprising not many have noticed the huge difference in the List Price between these 2 sets. Does anyone have an answer to this question??

Because Amazon doesn't do the math (not that they have to). They are provided a product from a seller for a certain price, and adjust their mark-ups accordingly I am sure. If the seller makes a base price with a package deal that is more expensive than buying the same amount individually, then that is their prerogative. Dumb, but at the same time they are likely to catch many un-savvy buyers in this product package making their packaging deal worth it to them. While it is unfortunate, it is the responsibility of the buyer to look at the different products and choose the best option for themselves. Hope this helps!

Because Amazon allows several different vendors to sell products through their marketplace. The search result reflects the lowest price among those vendors, and that won't always be Amazon. If that's the case, you'll see that low price over on the right hand side of the page. I am usually inclined to spend a few bucks more and get something from Amazon though.

Just checked the this item ASIN number...it's in stock and sold by Amazon.com.....we are listed as "buyer choices", but we don't have them listed for the $15.00

Yes, their price is $349 - but they show us saving $50 from the "list price" of $399. The list price is in fact $349 - we are therefore saving nothing. Which I am fine with since it is new, but feel the claim of savings is deceptive.
