Supply and Demand could be it, but I think it because amazon have multiple vendors selling.  Since the lowest price is almost always taken the vendors jockey their prices to beat out the other vendors on the site.  I looked into selling on amazon last year and found it to be very difficult and decided against it.  

 
True, that also has a significant impact though it's not always the lowest priced displayed.  In fact, if you click on the link with more offers, you can some times find a cheaper price.  Not always, but I have found that to be true quite a few times...plus, I've also seen Amazon's own price adjust throughout the day.  It's definitely not a straight forward simple formula that is used, but it is designed to make sure the price meets the demand at that particular time.

I did not see that 800 series one but the 700 series I decided against.  It's back up to $799 now.  Tempting.  I told myself if I go higher than $700 on a receiver then I would try a Marantz but the Onkyo has more power.  Lets see how low it goes today.....    
 

 
Definitely keep an eye on it. It was $649 this weekend for a little while. Might drop back down below $700.
