Another Amazon Prime Day scam post. The item on 'sale' was cheaper when I bought it last week.

Fucking AnazonBasics pulled this shit with something I bought. Not quite as bad; it was still technically on sale, but only by $2 instead of the $7 they would have you believe.
- Yea, I don't assume anything is on sale until I've looked at camelcamelcamel.com. Even then, it doesn't get lightning deals, and some other random promotions, so it can be difficult to tell what an actual good price is.
  
  Yeah, I use Keepa for the same thing. I checked before I bought the item, but it surprised me to see Amazon's brand pulling that stunt.
  
  Really? It surprised you? It surprises me that surprised you. I would've been surprised if Amazon didn't pull something like that

  Still, an absolutely excellent recommendation for price researching.
  
  They like to flux their prices around, so having these tools is very helpful to the consumer.

  Camelcamelcamel is good, but Keepa has a browser extension that shows the price graph directly on the Amazon page, so you don't have to go anywhere or click anything to see it.
- Also they stole the product from a former 3rd party seller
