Originally posted by wshi The prices on Amazon change often, and often they are completely ridiculous. The DA40 is being sold by one seller for over $800. Next closest is almost $500.
hehehe....dude, we all are pretty experienced about Amazon, it's not a secret but shhhhh, don't tell anyone just in case "they" are watching...
Really, it is funny how pricing can change but often it is when Amazon and the larger 3rd party Amazon Marketplace sellers run out of stock that the off the charts price sellers pop up...in fact Amazon is actually working to stop such outrageous prices by posting a notice when a listed price exceeds historic pricing (or it might be MSRP pricing I forget). but they flag the listing in a nice way so shoppers can see it and be informed. If they still choose to buy, well, so what, everyone gets paid the customers gets what they wanted and can't say they were "cheated"...it's hard to be cheated if you are informed...unless you cheat yourself that is...
But the pricing we are talking about is either an Amazon error or there is something happening with inventory drops of a given lens and also sudden increases, from Amazon in this case...it's likely an error but could also be a sign of some sort of change coming. We'll see....but trust me, few if any folks around here are unaware of Amazon's tactics by this time as they do it on everything on the site. Bugs me no end as well...such are the times.
