I needed to upgrade my router.
I had a look at the TP-Link BE9300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router a week ago. Price was $390. Then it went back to $500 +
This morning the price was $388.50. I bought it straight away.
After my purchase it went up to $549.
It was so much easier to buy things 10 years ago. The price would be the same for weeks….
I am sure that the price will be $300 in 6 months time but I am still very happy.
Ha Ha Ha…
Even Kekw's avatar pic is laughing
Ha Ha Ha…
tl;dr
LOL

So saved yourself a $1.50? Nice!!
The price was $490 yesterday
A week ago it was only $390!
I can still recall my surprise when a book by evolutionary biologist Peter Lawrence entitled The Making of a Fly came to be priced on Amazon at $23,698,655.93 (plus $3.99 shipping). While my colleagues around the world must have become rather depressed that an academic book could achieve such a feat, the steep price was actually the result of algorithms feeding off each other and spiraling out of control. It turns out, it wasn’t just sales staff being creative: Algorithms were calling the shots.

Well yeah, Amazon must be shipping billions of items globally, there's no way to have humans set the prices. Fedex had this automated inventory and delivery system decades ago and if you watch the Amazon warehouse virtual tour you'll see Amazon has taken the concept to the next level. It's extremely efficient and for every biology book priced at 23 million and every toothbrush in a box the size of a doghouse there's a thousand products priced exactly right and packaged correctly. Those mistakes are worth it in the long run compared to having mere humans pull all the strings and levers behind the scenes.
Amazon pricing is a joke - except when it's jokingly cheap - up and down all the time. It's like booking a flight.
Dynamic pricing and subscriptions rather than ownership - big C is preparing for the end game.
I love even its jokingly cheap. You need to be quick but can get some crazy deals sometimes
The fact that Colesworth specials and regular prices can be automatically matched by Amazon is the real joke. Shows the kinds of margins Colesworth must be really making behind their Hollywood accounting. We've all seen the emails they send to their suppliers, offering them kickbacks for raising their prices. Whatever Colesworth say their profit margins are is a big load of horse shit.
usually just matching the best price from a mainstream store until the 1st party has run out of stock or amazon has blown through SOH.
The store you bought from probably only had 1 in stock. Once that was sold out, their listing was removed as the default, and the next cheapest store was listed.
LOL
I am a happy vegemite.
I did my research on this router and knew that I would buy it when the price was right.
Today is a good day :-)
Current price is $549 but that's from third party seller. Amazon is there too in second seller in the list at$469 but with estimate time of 3 weeks from now, I'm guessing they just have it then.
3 camels
But wait! Theres more!
