I assume their algorithm for setting sale prices includes some data or assumptions about how likely it is that they'll make a sale to any given individual. and how low they have to go to get that particular sale.
While it felt nice to be offered the album for $2.49, I couldn't help but wonder how many people (if any) were offered that album for $2.29.

I wonder sometimes if it might also have to do with whether you go through to Amazon using an affiliate link (the prices you see, not the deals that are only available to some people). I've no evidence to suggest that affiliate pricing matters, but I have to speculate madly about SOMETHING, right???
