Hard-core Dark Patterns, amazon...
Your screen shots don’t show the item being sold in the first one or the price in the second one. I fully believe Amazon is doing Amazon things but did you even look at your own pictures before making your post?
I screenshotted it from my phone, and I could only get so much in a screenshot. They are all the same items. Here's a desktop screenshot. Looks like the item has been 90+ claimed since morning. Another scam.
So that’s the same price that was visible in the first one. Still no actual price shown from before Prime day.
May be my screenshots are confusing, because I didn't screenshot the product page when I purchased. Look at my order details. The price is the same $89. But on line 3 there is a $45 promotion applied. That was because there was a 50% off coupon available on the page that I clipped. After the coupon, the price came down to $45. Now on Prime day, they brought down the price to $65, but they also dropped the coupon to 10%, so the effective price now is $59, which is a lot more than what I paid last week. Does that make sense?
I was looking at a QNAP NAS box. When I added it to watch it was $589. Yesterday before prime day it was $573. This morning it was $582. Mid day it was back to $589.
Not a big difference and it wasn’t a prime day deal. But it’s more expensive than yesterday?
Ingoe a good chuckle this morning when checking my Amazon cart and getting notifications of multiple items having lower prices and none had it increased.
