Amazon.com’s Crazy Pricing

I don’t understand how it works or how they determine these prices, but Amazon.com seems to have the best price many times, so I’m impressed.

Please note that the price of Korg GA-30 Guitar / Bass Tuner has decreased from $9.95 to $9.49 since you placed it in your Shopping Cart. Items in your cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on their product detail pages.

Please note that the price of Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum has increased from $140.00 to $149.99 since you placed it in your Shopping Cart. Items in your cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on their product detail pages.

Please note that the price of Daring to Draw Near: People in Prayer has decreased from $11.70 to $11.25 since you placed it in your Shopping Cart. Items in your cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on their product detail pages.

Please note that the price of The New Hacker’s Dictionary - 3rd Edition has decreased from $22.80 to $19.80 since you placed it in your Shopping Cart. Items in your cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on their product detail pages.

That’s what it said above my Cart today when I added an item, and this happens quite often. Sometimes I get even longer lists of items with price changes. Some changes are so small that they seem insignificant to me, until I realize that when this is multiplied by a scale of 1,000,000 or more, that’s one heck of a lot of money.
