Maybe they were trying to see how well it sells, thought with the $36 dollar price, who wouldn't get one?

Because this price is above Team Cyclop's wholesale price. So if 2 companies want to make $1000, something smaller scale like dealwoot would have to price their stuff higher, but in China, shipping costs are lower, shipping from the manufacturer to their storage is cheaper as they are both in China, shipping to us is lower because DX ships so many things they must have some sort of deal with the postal companies, and because they buy at huge masses they can price them cheaper. Not to mention that DX's policy is to price things as low as they can, making only a dollar or two on each item max.
Selling 1000 items and making $1-2 off each is the same as selling 100 items and making $10 off each, also when their suppliers need to clear out old stock etc to make more room, DX will most likely get the stuff @ very low prices, if not free.
Edit - btw anyones status changed ? My order has the "pending" and date removed, hopefully i'll get an email saying its been shipped by monday
I agree. Most internet sites will honor a posted price, even if it was a typo. My mom has been able to get stuff off of amazon before for much cheaper then normal(ex. a case of something for the price of one of the items inside) because of this. I don't think this was a typo though, most likely it was an introductory offer.matriculated said:DX will probably still charge $35 for everyone that ordered at that price - lucky bastards.

"I think DX just smelled how wanted this product is and pushed the price. Or maybe the made a high price so that people lose interest to buy it ^^."
Dx rather lose money then do that, the reason the price got up could be because of a pricing error
Or the most common reason would be that Cyclo Team is forcing us to sell at a higher price

Hit said:The reason they had to increase price is probably because Cyclops Team contacted them to increase price because the price would otherwise be unfair compared to other stores
And if they didn't increase price they just stop selling CycloDS to DX
If Cyclops Team wasn't informed the price would probably still have been $35
