    Yeah, if you use camel camel camel or something similar for Amazon, you see generally the week before all the prices get an increase and then go on “sale” this is also not accounting for all the cheap shit being sold on Amazon from random brands like acuxvab and afxvvs because its easy for random Chinese companies to do it that way… and on top of that the random reseller trying to make a buck with cheap teemu crap and the likes…

    Whole thing is a mess…

      Amazon is a total mess.

      If you want a quality item but don’t know what brand you want, it’s near unusable. All the results are random Chinese vendors with what look like random names, half of them are rebadging the same noname Temu-quality crap.

      It’s gotten to the point where I Google for product recommendations or look at YouTube (keeping in mind that 90% of them are sponsored ‘unbiased reviews’ of the product in question) rather than searching Amazon.

      Of course then you get the brand name stuff sold by random grey market resellers for $5 below Amazon’s price so they claim the buy box and you get a product where the mfr won’t honor the warranty.
