We are not ready to call this price.

We check at least every 20 hours and hold a day-by-day record of what this cost: 11 days of it so far. Calling a price high or low needs 7 of those days and at least one change, because a range needs two prices: this one has not moved since we started watching. If it is still $399.99 on November 1, 2026, this box will say so: a price that has held for 10 days is an answer too.

Every change we recorded at Amazon

Every row is a price we saw change. We write one only when a price actually moves, so a gap here means the price held.

Tracking since October 20, 2026 · 11 days on record

The price has not changed since we started watching, so there is no line to draw yet. A chart appears the first time it moves.

Prices we recorded ourselves. Usual is the price on the typical day, with limited-time deals left out unless they ran on most of the days we recorded; Average is the mean of every recorded day, deals included, so a gap between the two columns is a record holding an outlier.
Price	Now	Lowest	Highest	Usual	Average	Days recorded
New	$399.99	$399.99 on Oct 20	$399.99 on Oct 20	$399.99	$399.99	11
