always use price trackers with Amazon and never, ever trust the "original" price. Amazon epitomizes every shady retailer tactic imaginable.

Didn't Dell just get fined for this in Australia or something?

This.
I ordered some stuff but it was all stuff with prices I'm familiar with.

I use camelcamelcamel. I wouldn't be surprised if amazon works with them to fake prices.

I had something in my cart from last week that is suddenly a prime day deal, but the price is unchanged.

I hope Amazon gets fucked too.
I don't have the company generally, they've always been great on results and lost packages, but this is scummy (assuming that pic above isn't straight malarkey.)

I've encountered similar scams at several other places. Aldi puts sale stickers on items, but if you peel them back, the original price is often the same as the "sale" price. Every time I get my cats' food at Target, the self-checkout rings it up as $1.50-2.00 more than it says on the shelf. A friend used to work at a local big name furniture/home theater store, and she knew them to raise listed prices right before a sale.

Buncha sneaky nogoodniks.

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.
