It will be here tomorrow. In the wild, wild west of Cancer capitalism, you have to pay attention.

You should've jumped while the price was low. I always watch the number remaining for the items I've put on my wish lists.

But I know it's trendy to rip on Amazon, so that's cool too.

I have had the same items in the cart elsewhere and the prices have not changed at all over several hours.

Amazon is the Walmart of the Internet.

Delete them from you browser and never go there again. Use only local mom and pop brick and mortar stores and only buy American made products. It will make you feel better. (And it will make me feel better also, as you will be freeing up bandwidth on Amazon's servers.)

Depends on the item, of course, but I've often found items cheaper elsewhere, many times at brick and mortar stores nearby.

Amazon Fire items should burn indeed.

because this next month is when they'll try to make enough money to stay open for another year.

It sucks, but that's the way the world works these days.

I usually buy only food until after the first of the year.

That's not a scam. Their prices go up an down based on current stocks.

The only reason you even know for sure the price changed is that amazon themselves tells you with red writing that the price of an item in your cart has changed, if it even has. Hardly a smart "Scam", you would think. In many cases the price comes down before I can even check out. Guess what? they tell you when it does that too.
