How Quickly Have You Seen The Price For Certain Clothes Change?

There was a scarf I just "kind of" liked on amazon. I had pushed it off into "saved items" several times. I just looked at amazon and was shocked that a $57.00 scarf has jumped to $145.00! I've never seen anything like that that wasn't because of a sale!!!

Is it still coming from the same vendor? Sometimes prices are different depending on who the vendor is.

If I see something I like and I want it and the price works for me, I buy it because I know that if I re-visit it later, the price might be much higher. Amazon vendors can change their prices whenever they want to. I do remember that I had that happen to me a year or two ago with a pair of boots. I dillied and dallied for over a week and when I decided to buy them, they were twice the price. Lesson learned.

I noticed this a little while ago with a non-clothing item. I put an item in my wishlist, and when I checked back, the price had doubled. After 2 days, the price had reverted back to the original cost. I questioned this policy, and couldn't figure out what Amazon was trying to prove. It really angered me.

@Carol08,It's the vendor, not necessarily from amazon. If it is in amazon's stock it will say fulfilled by amazon. This increase was probably the vendor price gouging for the holidays. I was "iffy" now I'm "NO!".
