A local radio guy had an interesting segment a while ago about Amazon Prime.
His wife was about to make an order without prime, then thought of having the husband make the purchase with his Prime account.
When logging on the same item with his computer, the price was higher!
Two computers looking at the same item at the same time, and the computer with a Prime account had a higher sale price.
Radio guy later had a spokesman from Amazon on the air to explain. Explanation was mostly mumbo-jumbo about price flexibility, that sometimes prime prices are more, sometimes less, yada yada, and Amazon only does what's best for the customer, YMMV.
