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?

    It’s illegal in Norway. Items must not have been at the discounted rate at least 30 days prior

      Don’t Norwegians miss out on having the freedom to get conned? And sure, this sounds good for the citizens, but what about the magic line we all worship? I think it might harm the line.

      Same for the whole of the European union.

        It’s Canada, friend. It’s illegal here too.
