At least with Amazon, its geo-related pricing, not random pricing to different people (or browsers), at least with their digital content.

Well, that's not exactly the case with Amazon. Logged in, I've browsed for certain things and found higher prices than when I'm logged out. Logged out, a few years ago I was shopping for an item and it came up as a good price. When I logged in, that vendor/price did not come up in the search. So I had to go back, find the link and THEN buy that particular lower-priced item. I've seen that happen a few times with Amazon. So I'm not so sure they are any different when it comes to trying to show higher prices and sometimes having a lower price out there that random people might be able to see. In both cases where I bought the item, it did let me BUY the lower price--but the only way to find it was to go back to my original, outside of Amazon, search, save the link, and then go log in and use that link.
