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?

      Stop bragging about your sensible consumer laws, and legal vacation requirements, great train system and generally universal health care.

        I’m in the UK. I’ll never brag about our train system, not after Twatcher privatised them, and further back the horrific Beeching cuts.

        The rest - yeah, worth it.

        Train system is not exactly viable here compared to using a car (Belgium)

        Edit: but yeah the rest is about right

      It’s against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.

        The ICO in the UK is pretty good… I used to work on their CRM system and it was an eye opener how little, and also how big the things they investigated were.
