Amazon Prime Days ran on July 16th and 17th (at least here, in Canada).

This price jump happened a day before and ended two days later, but this item was “on sale” during those two Prime Days.

I’ve been seeing this scam far too often, especially with food items. Why isn’t this illegal yet?

    Of course. And since enforcement is basically non-existent, it doesn’t matter how illegal it is!

      It’s semi-amazing how feckless our government is when it comes to anything related to market fairness.

        It is fair… Companies paid $X lobbying our gov’t and in return they get to do shit and profit

        Fair!

        And it’s more than mildly infuriating when people say Poilievre will be any better.
