Amazon List Price shown as $999.99

Hey guys,

Amazon is listing the Xoom's list price as $999.99. I always thought the list prices were pretty unreliable but man that's wrong. They then have the gall to tell customers that they're saving them $200. Also, Amazon Wireless is trying to sell the Xoom off contract for 829.99, what gives? Just Amazon being crazy? I think so, but thought I'd share the ridiculousness with you all.

And for Amazon Wireless:

That's a common tactic a lot of retailers use to spoof customers into thinking they're saving money. My local grocery store even does it. "Retail price: $2.99" "Our price: $2.09" -- meanwhile, everyone is selling it for that price. I've seen Amazon do it with a lot of phones. They did it with the Fascinate when it first came out. They were showing the list price at $329.99.

I agree, but $829 and no sales tax is better than $799 plus sales tax in most states.

Sadly this is true.
