I took a few minutes this morning to shop for a wireless adapter for my Xbox. I wanted the Microsoft one, and Amazon.com had it for $60, which is almost 50% off the list price. I put it in my shopping cart and browsed for a few other products. By the time I was ready to check out, the price had gone up to $87 and now it was offered by Office Depot and not Amazon directly. I’ve seen wild and incomprehensible price changes on the Internet before, but nothing like this. It boggles the mind. It also makes me less inclined to buy stuff from Amazon in the future. I mean, if I wanted wild and unpredictable price fluctuations, I’d shop on eBay.
