2.0 out of 5 stars Weird things at Amazon going on, December 21, 2008

By	jimfreeman (Norfolk, VA United States) - See all my reviews

AFter searching for this product with another, I had to leave for a few hours before ordering, when I returned to place order, price had jumped significantly.
I also noted this on a camera I was looking at. In this crummy economy, they INCREASED the price the day after I looked at it. Seems possible they have tracking and are trying to force people to buy quickly, or like the airlines, are now adjusting prices up any time they see a change in interest or demand.
Not a change I like from a past excellent company, and it is costing me time to find better prices elsewhere - not to mention their losing the business they would otherwise have had.
