    How long until someone reports this post to Amazon and they fix their algorithm and no more amazon group buys. :rofl:

    Should come up with a code word for Amazon instead bahaha.

    I once worked for a company that had a meeting with someone who worked for "Fuji" and I kept thinking this has nothing to do with Fuji film and what I do. Then I finally realized it was Apple.

    Very smart @ramonortiz55 , I work as an Amazon Seller often and what you are laying out here is exactly the kind of thing Amazon is built on... it's all algorithms, and if you show enough interest the price will go down, not up. Amazon's whole deal is volume of sales, not profit per sale. Seems to be working for them :)

    Interesting thread. I noticed if I put items in my cart but do not purchase, the price tends to go up. Then I move to my saved for later list and it drops. I saw a $30+ increase when I had the Husky mats in my cart. I sort of suspected they have an algorithm to encourage a prompt purchase.

    Also saw yesterday Amazon quietly lowered their free minimum shipping threshold back to $25.

    Want to see how this plays out.

    Noticed that with the shipping too. Guess they were losing customers.

    there was a comedian who had part of his routine was when he bought a TV from an online company "glamazon" and had issues with it, and during the return said he would bash "glamazon", but then they returned it so he made up a fake name for story purposes
