What is the deal with this pricing on this TV? In less than 3 wks it is gone up about $300?
1321792
It is interesting how Amazon is having this and other Bravia TV's 'on sale' on March. They say they have taken $300 off the price but the price is actually gradually going up ... two days ago when the ad first came out this 52" TV was $1699 (still higher than the $1450 or $1650) and now it is $1719. I really wanted to get it when it was lower and do not like this jacking the price around and claiming 'sale' when it has not gone down at all this month -- only Up, Up, Up!

Best price this month was $1595 which lasted only 2 hours. Ever since, Amazon been out of stock. I wonder if they will ever be back in stock.
1321794
it's now $2000. crazy. I know the W5100 series is coming out very soon. do you think there is low supply for 52" W's, so they are marking it up?

the 1550 is not from Amazon itself, but another vendor.I got mine for 1650, and would only buy from amazon for something of this value, as I pretty much trust them for business these last 7 years without one single problem, but no xyz vendor! $1650 is still a great deal, because Best Buy is about 1899 and so was Frys, 1899. And no tax! Great deal, don't look back! Enjoy!

Looks like you two weren't the only ones. Some people received the TV, some got their order canceled. Check comments here. http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1219705

Hi, Thought I might let you know that you can score a great deal on this tv from Vann's (www.vanns.com). I've never bought from them before but their reselleratings are top notch and a lot of people have purchased from them in the avsforum. They are a Samsung authorized dealer and have an A+ rating with the BBB. I just placed an order for this tv at $1349.98! When you go to the site it will be listed at $1577 but click on the tv and click on the link that says email me a better price. You'll receive an email for $1349.98. At that point you can call the customer service or click on another link that will take you to the checkout. I'm excited. I'll follow up if I have any problems. The sales rep I talked to said that this price would probably be good through the end of the month, but he's not sure. Hope I've been helpful. Thanks

Come on! $200 bucks!! just drop the price so you guys can sell more! Volume sales! Dont be like Bestbuy and be a sell out

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

I just did the same thing. I bought a TV from Amazon at the best price (this morning 01-18-09) and now Onecall has the best price (same day but evening time) The price only went down $30, but hey $30 is $30 and I thought I heard that amazon has price matching through 30 days. Help us!

I just wanted to warn people. After I saw the post by "Internet Shopper" I did some quick background reasearch on basics4home (the person/company selling the TV for $1649). On Ebay the guy/company got a lot of negative comments recently - check this out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid;=basics4home&ftab;=AllFeedback.So be warnwed - I would have been tempted - but the feedback about him being a potential scamster puts me off.

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

i"ve been planning on getting this one but was just waiting for another coupon. As far as my research goes, there is nothing wrong with this TV. The buzzing sound some people report doesn't seem to be a major issue or at least it's a fixable one. I think what's going on is Amazon screwed up something and enough people complained so they pulled it until they can get to the bottom of the matter. I tried contacting Amazon to ask if there was a chance it might be available before the coupon expires today, and all I got was the same vague "Item under review" reply. The way I see it, they should extend the coupon for this one till the TV is available again since it's because of their screw-up that we can't buy it. i"ve been planning on getting this one but was just waiting for another coupon.

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.

I think the price went up because Sony was having a promotion that if you bought the TV together with a home theater system, the home theater system was essentially free. Now that the promo is over, I suspect the TV price will drop.

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.

I had to swoop in and grab mine late June at the $599.99 price. It has since gone up and been removed from Prime. Keep an eye out! Hopefully it will go back down.

Agreed I was planning on purchasing this set next Friday April 1st, and what the heck happened?!?! All of the sudden the product is under review, and poof amazon liquidates their stock of the TV's. Kinda of bizarre if you ask me, and I'm not sure what people are complaining about but the should shush, at under $1K this TV is an absolute steal.Not a happy customer right now.

Well, assuming you have a Costco or Sam's Club available, you've got a 90 day return policy to work with. If prices drop at in that time I'm guessing you should be able to get the difference. e.g., They'd probably prefer to give you the difference over returning it for the same model at a lower price. Obviously if they start carrying a must-have TV in that time, you can return yours and pick up the new one.

Count me in. I have been tracking the price of this tv for a while, made the plunge and bought it on Aug 31st thinking that the $200 was a manufacturer's rebate off the purchase price. Emailed amazon and waiting for a reply.

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?
