Wowza! Prices on Amazon.com and possibly other sites have jumped like crazy...thanks spectre of Trump...

Just bought a new Amazon Fire tablet (HD Max 11) and the price has almost doubled on Amazon (within about 3 days). Geez..."By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes", Witch in Macbeth.

Edit: Luckily, I got the lower price in time...

There are resell agents with more expensive prices, but Amazon is the same.

On edit: my wife bought one literally three weeks ago.

Much lower price, brand new and says: "ships from and sold by Amazon", no second party vendor indicated, so, count myself as lucky...I also got the official two part magnetic attachment keyboard case, refurbished, like new for half price from a different vendor, got it today and seems perfect, fit and finish and functions great....Bless the FSM...

We'll exchange gifts, but will avoid shopping for new stuff, buying from rwnj and oligarchs, concentrate on other aspects that make it a holiday.
