consider this listing:
GearWrench 9412 12 Piece Metric Ratcheting Wrench Set
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002NYD1C/?tag=atomicindus08-20
notice it is 44.36$ from amazon, and 46.21$ from AWD. it is only listed as "good" on AWD.
the price changed nine days ago, according to camel(3):
ok, so one might assume that this is obviously an older listing, caught by the dynamic pricing algorithms. but it isn't. this listing isn't that old. trust me, i look at this stuff a lot.
the reason i bring this up is not to mock amazon. it is because of a trend i have noticed. months ago, you would see something like this one a month. but recently, i have been seeing things like this, where AWD is more expensive then new items, often from amazon itself, daily.
i suppose the purpose of this is, as Sgt Esterhaus used to say on Hill Street Blues: "Let's be careful out there."
