Neither does Amazon.
- brudgers 7y agoThe industry term is "dynamic pricing." This article from 2014 links (near the top) to Amazon's admission to the practice. https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/11/03/if-you-use-a-mac-or-an-android-e-commerce-sites-may-be-charging-you-more/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/11/03/...

And for me, personally, it is losing value quickly because of the fuckery Amazon is pulling with all their different stores (it's fucking difficult to buy shit from Amazon and avoid Pantry or whatever the other fuckery is called so you actually get your "free" [not actually free] shipping).
