No shit. Honestly if you aren't using one of those price tracking extensions on Amazon you're doing it wrong. I use Keepa.
It's amazing how many product prices are now a square wave. Look at this for example and feel sorry for the people that paid £100.

Often they are even more predictable and switch between the high and low price every two weeks. I have no idea why. Here's an example:

Anyway if you browse with one of these extensions on Prime day it's very obvious how much of a lie their deals are. They're usually the lowest price that something has been available, but also usually they've been at that price before in the last few months.

- IshKebab 1y agoThat explains why the price changes but it doesn't explain why it is a perfect square wave.
