Google Shopping Price Different to Shop

So there is an item I keep price checking. Today the price at one shop shown on Google has dropped another $10. But when I click on it and go to the shop it is $10 more. It is still 10 dollars more when I open the Google link in an incognito tab. Am I seeing a preview of black friday? Huh?

    Google Merchant Center (which is what displays as Google Shopping) sometimes takes time to update prices to the live website. Most likely the item was $10 cheaper, and the price has changed, and Google's system is yet to pick up on the change.

    • Thats a shame then because it was 10 more when i checked yesterday too, so i just missed the window?

        Why use Google shopping to check a known specific item that you want? Just bookmark the store/s or add to wishlist with price drop notification if the site has that option. Google is good but it isn't necessarily in real time.

        • Well im looking for a type of item, but not a specific one - i dont care much about brand or shop etc.

            @bargain huntress: That makes sense. Cheers

            • @Muzeeb: I think i will take your advice though and check this particular one as well though. Just in case i can grab some kind of difference. Thank you

          Google Shopping will show if it's on sale elsewhere too.

    • maybe price jacking ready for a blanket discount sale

    I notice this a lot with Kogan. I think the way some of these online stores are set up, especially their marketplace items, don't play nice with Google with things being out of stock and fluctuating prices.
