Amazon Prime Days ran on July 16th and 17th (at least here, in Canada).
This price jump happened a day before and ended two days later, but this item was "on sale" during those two Prime Days.
I've been seeing this scam far too often, especially with food items. Why isn't this illegal yet?
I noticed this literally on the first Prime Day. Items on my list were 'on sale' and I was lucky enough I'd just looked through my list 2 days prior. Nothing had a deeper discount. It's literally all fabricated to push the trash out they're trying to get rid of, and push you to buy items you've been looking at. There's not even a thin veil over it. Honestly been thinking of cancelling Prime because even the shipping has been bullshit lately.
Keepa is essential for buying on amazon.
What a surprise, Amazon has been doing shady shit for years and continues to do so.
For anyone with the kneejerk reaction "AMERICA BAD!" because of this, it's against FTC regulations here in the USA, but hasn't been enforced in 50 years.
We are allowed to sue over it, but no one does. Caveat Emptor indeed.
We are allowed to sue over it, but no one does.
SCOTUS has drastically reduced the standing allowed for class action lawsuits. The ROI on these suits is very small. So you are talking about possibly weeks or months of your life to get the nuisance value of a very small claim. And that's assuming the court doesn't dismiss your claim on standing or misfiling or whatever other legal hoop you need to jump through.
For anyone with the kneejerk reaction “AMERICA BAD!”
This is precisely why "AMERICA BAD!" The legal system is intentionally inaccessible to large pools of small claimants and only exists to facilitate disputes between large business interests or between wealthy private parties and the state.
And if you think the civil system is bad, wait till you find out the ratfvckery that goes on in the criminal system.
This is illegal in UK and Europe...
It's against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.
The ICO in the UK is pretty good... I used to work on their CRM system and it was an eye opener how little, and also how big the things they investigated were.
Stop bragging about your sensible consumer laws, and legal vacation requirements, great train system and generally universal health care.
Train system is not exactly viable here compared to using a car (Belgium)
Edit: but yeah the rest is about right
I'm in the UK. I'll never brag about our train system, not after Twatcher privatised them, and further back the horrific Beeching cuts.
The rest - yeah, worth it.
Never purchase without Keepa check. I even google image search temu to find the Amazon link and check history
I don't understand. Are you reverse image searching and if so what image? One from Temu or Amazon?
Android temu app See Chinese trash I want in my home Screenshot Share image to Google search app Open Amazon link that matches product See keepa pricing history Decide whether to purchase Chinese trash based on cost and knowing increased shipping time over Prime
Just use canelcamelcamel imo
I hate their UI
once they drive most other retailers out of business, they'll be able to jack the prices up. has been the plan the whole time
I started shopping at Walmart because of this, completely gave up on Amazon.
Realized what I was missing out on after buying some new strings for my guitar. Sat and talked to the people working for probably 30 minutes, then they told me to just bring it in and they will put the strings on really quick since they have better tools.
Ended up being cheaper than Amazon and got us out of the house.
uh, doesn't Walmart do the exact same thing?
They probably do, but it’s a lesser of two evils where I live. People can shit on me and downvote away, but there is no choice where I live except driving an hour.
understandable, I judged too quickly.
It’s fine, and I honestly hate Walmart for what they have done to the landscape. I also understand the immediate reaction to hating them very well.
Fuck that noise. Walmart is infinitely worse for communities than Amazon.
Right, except in my little nook that has already happened. I can either by trash at Dollar General, drive to Walmart where things are meh, or get Amazon.
People seem to forget not everyone commenting here live in a major city.
Yeah, used to live in bumfuck PA and can definitely understand this. It's either Walmart or some obscenely overpriced "local" place that gets half of their stuff from the same place and then upcharges $2 on everything.
The only deal I find on prime day is storage. Usually pick up a SSD or few SD cards and save a few bucks.
This is a tale as old as time. We did this in the late 90s at an office supply store. Every Sunday night changing price tags "ooh guess there will be a sale on resume paper in the next few weeks". 1-4 weeks out we would increase prices on some items just to lower them back when the ad came out.
