| Here's some interesting news concerning the CRD:
at www.buy.com, the CRD is still listed with the MSRP of $59.99, and a pre-order price of $35.99. No automatic free shipping (for some reason, buy.com does NOT do free shipping on pre-orders), and I'm not sure if buy.com would increase the price if (and when, presumedly) they do increase the price.
Still, it might be an alternative for others to inquire into. | |

| | Ditto on pre-ordering both the Red and the black. Now watch I'll win one at GenCon(just like the daily AT-AT drawings last year, but didn't win this one) and have no need for it. | |

I was considering pre-ordering, but Amazon.CA was much quicker than Amazon.com at raising it's prices and there wouldn't have been any real savings by pre-ordering sooner than later. [:(] | |

| Here is what the Amazon web site says about mispricing:
quote:
With respect to items sold by Amazon.com, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If we discover a mispricing, we will do one of the following:
* If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item.
* If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
Please note that this policy applies only to products sold and shipped by Amazon.com. Your purchases from third-party sellers using Amazon.com Payments are charged at the time you place your order, and third-party sellers may follow different policies in the event of a mispriced item.
So it does say that if they want to, they can raise the price on all of us that have preordered. But it is at their discretion. And if they are very likely to decide that the better part of discretion is to leave the thousands of order at the original listed price versus canceling them all.

| I'm glad I squeezed in a second pre-order before the hike [:D]
It just seems likely that the CRD will appreciate nicely over a 3-5 year span. Now if I can just find somewhere to store them both... | |

| | I pre-ordered both and both have jumped prices, but not on my invoice. I was even able to get a discout on the 2 WD boosters I had pre-ordered with the GBD, since the price dropped on them. I think everyone should have faith in amazon, they have excellent customer servic and are not greedy. You just have to buy early... | |

| Sorry guys, but Amazon doesn't change invoices until time to charge the card. I think this policy will apply to all of your orders. Fingers crossed that it is not the case but it is right under their pricing policies.

That's what Amazon claims. However, the laws in certain locations my trump official policy. I would bet that Amazon already knows when/where they can cancel the order or whatever, and will leave the others alone.
Just because they have a policy saying that they can/will do something, doesn't mean that they actually have the right.
They also probably already know how much they make on gaming supplies, and will consider that into the equation as well.
And, to be honest, I think $50 is an OK price. If I were buying it in a brick and mortar shop, I think that would be a fair price. So, I just have to look at it that way. Luckily for me, I got in on the lower preorder.
