    The Keepa browser extension is a great way to see that grift, with graphs. Every time someone tells me about a good deal on Amazon, I show them that it’s a price markup from the price 3-6 months ago, and teh “sale” is 10% off that marked up price.

      How does that compare with camelcamelcamel? I used to hear about CCC a lot and now I never do, which makes me think bad things were found out about it.

        On desktop, it shows a price history right within the Amazon product page. I love that part.

          There is/was a plugin for CCC on chrome to do that, too.

    Remember, this is all justified because Jeff Bezos does not yet have enough money.

    (Ironically the article is paywalled. Here is the archive link.)
