This is silly. For one, the premise is wrong - Amazon almost certainly makes more money selling the $9 item than the $5 one.
The oz showing is most likely a fluke because one product has incomplete metadata (with hundreds of millions of listings, many have incomplete data).
- PMan74 8y ago> most likely a fluke I'd agree, probably not helped by the fact that the $9 item is a 2-pack. Never ascribe to malice that which is can be explained by stupidity. Stupidity might be a bit harsh here though.
- mental1896 8y agoFWIW I've seen this kind of thing at the local grocery store too. The name brand price tag reads "39¢/oz" and the generic right next to it reads "$3.79 per each". I can't be certain that it's malicious but it happens often enough to make me wonder.
