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?

once they drive most other retailers out of business, they'll be able to jack the prices up. has been the plan the whole time

I started shopping at Walmart because of this, completely gave up on Amazon.

Realized what I was missing out on after buying some new strings for my guitar. Sat and talked to the people working for probably 30 minutes, then they told me to just bring it in and they will put the strings on really quick since they have better tools.

Ended up being cheaper than Amazon and got us out of the house.

uh, doesn't Walmart do the exact same thing?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They probably do, but it’s a lesser of two evils where I live. People can shit on me and downvote away, but there is no choice where I live except driving an hour.

[–] ComicalMayhem 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

understandable, I judged too quickly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It’s fine, and I honestly hate Walmart for what they have done to the landscape. I also understand the immediate reaction to hating them very well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fuck that noise. Walmart is infinitely worse for communities than Amazon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Right, except in my little nook that has already happened. I can either by trash at Dollar General, drive to Walmart where things are meh, or get Amazon.

People seem to forget not everyone commenting here live in a major city.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah, used to live in bumfuck PA and can definitely understand this. It's either Walmart or some obscenely overpriced "local" place that gets half of their stuff from the same place and then upcharges $2 on everything.
