Fair, and you're probably right. I've personally learned to be very cautious when it comes to statements like that though. There has already been additional tariffs, and since it isn't exactly defined, they could raise the price tomorrow based on that, "because it wasn't taken into account at the time" and so on.

Better to just wait until the whole drama blows over I suppose.

I think it's reasonable too, but it also means I don't want to pony up $150 now to potentially have the seller renege and (hopefully) refund me later. I can make use that $150 between then and now.

As a consumer, the price is whatever I have to pay to receive the product. You seem to be confusing it with revenue.

They have always been part of the price.

In the past tariffs were implemented or modified with a long notice period so businesses could plan ahead.

Now they are being added or changed at the whim of a tantrum with no notice, so of course prices might need to also reflect that at short notice.

No, those questions are answered at point of sale in the US like when you click a Checkout button or you're at the cash register.

Prices changing after a preorder is completely different and not anything US specific.

Never a good look to assume where someone is located :)

FWIW, I'm in south-Europe, maybe that's why I got surprised I wouldn't have known the final price until the device would land in my hand?

It’s not hard to roughly calculate tax.
