This shows consumerism as its finest (or worst). Easy for me to say control your urges but it does help by not buying any crap that you might think you want and clutter up your place

Your screen shots don’t show the item being sold in the first one or the price in the second one. I fully believe Amazon is doing Amazon things but did you even look at your own pictures before making your post?
I screenshotted it from my phone, and I could only get so much in a screenshot. They are all the same items. Here's a desktop screenshot. Looks like the item has been 90+ claimed since morning. Another scam.
So that’s the same price that was visible in the first one. Still no actual price shown from before Prime day.
May be my screenshots are confusing, because I didn't screenshot the product page when I purchased. Look at my order details. The price is the same $89. But on line 3 there is a $45 promotion applied. That was because there was a 50% off coupon available on the page that I clipped. After the coupon, the price came down to $45. Now on Prime day, they brought down the price to $65, but they also dropped the coupon to 10%, so the effective price now is $59, which is a lot more than what I paid last week. Does that make sense?
Hard-core Dark Patterns, amazon...
Ingoe a good chuckle this morning when checking my Amazon cart and getting notifications of multiple items having lower prices and none had it increased.
I was looking at a QNAP NAS box. When I added it to watch it was $589. Yesterday before prime day it was $573. This morning it was $582. Mid day it was back to $589.
Not a big difference and it wasn’t a prime day deal. But it’s more expensive than yesterday?
Oddly enough, I managed to find some really cheap gum. Usually $4.50 on sale at the shops but I got 6x bottles / packs of it for 12 bucks. Pretty happy finding little bargains like that!
