Amazon Pricing Reminder - Page 4

Moonchilde · ‎05-23-2010

Typically, prices on Amazon drop when a product's selling numbers dip, and rise the more are sold, i.e. how "hot" a product is. Quite a few times I've bought a popular item at a good price and as soon as I've bought it, the price goes up. It's never been a situation where they were out of stock. I read a long time ago that the more popular something is on Amazon the higher the price and when people stop buying the price starts to go down. Also, if 3 vendors are selling the same item and 2 sell out, the last remaining seller isn't going to offer a bargain ;-)

Forgot to mention, two Prime things I have just"found."

1) Another person can share the prime membership (I added DH so a free book could be sent to his reader)

2) BRB

That's a nice thing. But the problem has been, and one of the reasons for the price increase, that there are a lot of people who circumvent the rules (i.e. cheat). It only applies to people in the household and I guess there has been a big problem with people sharing their prime with people outside the household.

The cheaters don't care, of course, but their cheating causes everybody else to pay more.

I'm not on anyone's membership but my BFF has prime and she told me anytime I want to order something, I could give her the money and she'll get it for me on her membership.
