It's not just cameras and not just amazon that does that. The two cameras I posted were decent deals (I bought a "lighter feature" Canon and paid 60 a few years back, so the one I blogged with 16mp at 95 was a good deal--it's 114 now). But I totally agree with you. When it was on "special" yesterday I think it said the regular price was 199 or something like that, yet today it's 114 and no mention of that higher price.
Unless you've been shopping around BEFORE November, it can be really hard to know if something is a good deal or not. A lot of the fabric places I shop have 15 percent off for every "holiday" and they don't discount more than than for BF. It's just another average deal.
