In the first row, captioned Wednesday, the barbecue is labelled "$899.99" and Wallace says "hold".

The second row, captioned Thursday, depicts the same.

In the third row, captioned Black Friday, the there is a label with ~~$1099.99~~ struck through with "$899.99" written underneath, and Wallace charges.

For anyone who is unaware of what this refers to, it is this website:

https://camelcamelcamel.com/

The website describes it's services like so:

Our free Amazon price tracker monitors millions of products and alerts you when prices drop, helping you decide when to buy.

Right now the product is showing camel. You can wait for it to be camel and then buy, but if you’re patient you’ll catch it when it’s in the camel and save a lot.

I would rather have something that has not been in a camel.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Sure is nice seeing all of those 40% off tags and seeing on CCC it's actually more expensive than it was a week ago.

What's up with this product price of $99 for a "re-usable straw" that listed near the beginning for me

It's list price is $99,999 with an average of $68,267.48?! I obviously wouldn't be purchasing from that vendor for many reasons; but how easy is it to manipulate prices for a website like this? Or maybe it's a vendor that's trying to make the website seem useless? Or just a one-off?

Idk, it caught my eye right off the bat though lol
