I'm just glad I pulled the trigger on Wednesday the 20th. Excellent TV BTW I will be posting a review in the coming weeks..

This is silly, I was waiting to see if there would be 36 month financing on this, now they have upped the price. I'll wait, way to price yourself out of a sale Amazon.

I totally feel ya. I was ordering it Friday because of the $2,186 price, now I'm shopping around. Was dead set on buying this one for that price.

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

I hate to say this but I just checked and Vann's now has it for 2049......Sure is making me think about purchasing it from them... Think about it AMAZON. Sure hate that you're losing customers like this.

vanns has it for 2099 via their email me a better offer price. I was looking at buying from amazon too but the prices change too much too fast.

How is the reputation for Vann's. Are they reliable? I have heard too many horror stories from "NY or NJ" based online vendors.

Its like you guys are speaking after my own heart. I totally feel the same way. I was about to pull the trigger on this set and boom another 200 dollars... Ouch. Unless this set drops to the 2168 it was at or lower I'll be taking my business elsewhere. What were you thinking Amazon ???

I have seen price change on Amazon, but not like what you are stating! Amazon should answer this.

Thanks G. Mercado, I did notice that it wasn't actually Amazon itself selling at the higher price. I was just referring to the extra $200.00 profit that Toyzz was trying to make. I seriously thought it was a misprint as I would hope people are not that desperate for TC. I know I am not!

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.

Note: The price on Pioneer's website has just been raised by $50. Dang! I was just getting ready to cancel my Amazon order (I preordered when it first showed up on Amazon in March) and buy it on Pioneer's site until I saw the price change (I think it was the same as Amazon's price earlier in the week). I guess I'll have to wait until the units are available on Amazon. The rest of my new home theater system has arrived and has been setup for over a month. The speaker wires are hanging out of the wall waiting to plug into a shiny new receiver. I guess I'll wait a bit longer.

Amazon has been showing various prices over the past two weeks or so. At the moment it is full price but, for a period, they showed a price of $249.99, slightly higher than the pre-order price of $243.99. I pre-ordered and posted the original comment in this thread. To update my situation, Amazon delivered my unit last Friday (8/28/09). It sounds great and was worth the wait.

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

The price increased from $1,631 to $1,742.97, and now increased again to $1,815.44. I actually had it in my cart to order it in the next few days, but I just removed it after the price change.

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

Actually, the price even went down to $235 last week. I bought it here for $285 two weeks ago, requested for a price adjustment and received $50 back to my credit card! The price do fluctuate but Amazon's price adjustment policy is great!

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.

Are you guys new here? Amazon prices fluctuate more than grocery stores. Go to camelcamelcamel.com and put in the URL of whatever product, and see the fluctuations...

Same here, I am watching the prices too, almost pulled the trigger on the $1249 price but got greedy I guess. I just found this other site a few days ago, not sure if anyones already posted this but go to http://priceprotectr.com/ and follow the directions and it'll email you when prices drop at retailers online sites including amazon. Not sure how accurate or timely it is but I'm trying it anyway since its free.

I found the price change upsetting, too. But since the item was already in my cart I learned that it was because the stock was depleted and the provider didn't have anymore at the lower price. - My first impulse was to blame Amazon but they proved me wrong. It apparently is not their fault.

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

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.
