I wish they'd figure that out. I've been watching a "basting dome" (used for cooking) on Amazon for a week. They have changed the price every single day. Once, they changed the price twice in one day. In the last week this thing has ranged from $11.99 to $18.99 and everywhere in between. I guess Amazon just can't quite correlate their data on me and figure out exactly when I might really need this thing so they can jack up the price at the last minute. Their pricing A.I. sucks. Next week, I'll probably put it in my cart - buy not complete the purchase just yet - to really throw them for a loop. The
"let it sit there and age in your cart" technique usually results in a price drop after a few days/weeks. I can wait - I already have one basting dome and this second one is not an urgent purchase (Shhh! Don't tell Amazon that!)
