I stopped using Amazon once I caught on to their “targeted pricing” which figured out how much I’d be willing to pay for something and then charged that amount. Amazon destroyed itself by being too clever by half in seeking merchandizers for its platform. Also, spending a billion dollars on that Woke Lord of the Rings disaster and then calling subscribers racist for not liking it didn’t help.
#4 If you click on a price button to amazon at say a review site, the price goes up. You also need to delete your cookie files in your web browser prior to shopping as you are being tracked and the price will go up as amazon knows you like to shop at their site.
I got pissed at Amazon when it hijacked Thursday night football (although I was saved from watching the bears, broncos and other crappy teams so far). Stopped using them, although I had already started staying away from them because a lot of the sellers weee peddling crap.
