Amazon? Evil? Never! (ok, maybe a little)
22. December 2008 by emeris.
At crookedtimber there is much anger over Amazon’s pricing system. Looking to verify this I found that while amazon is being evil, it’s not in the way expected. Instead of setting prices per person, they are playing games with shipping costs so that all of their vendors end up costing the same.
Responding to the directions for checking in the original blog post:
I noticed on the top of the page a line that said “This item is not eligible for Amazon Prime when purchased from DigitalEtc. See more buying choices” where the last four words are a link that goes to a page of vendors for this card. At the top there is your $17 card from the only vendor that is eligible for Prime, where as the $10 one is marked as ‘item low price’. That page also notes that the $10.45 card isn’t eligible for either the Prime or Supersaver shipping, and will always cost you $6.68 in shipping.
This is amazon playing games with multiple vendors, not playing games with pricing per person. More interestingly, on the ‘featured vendor’ list all 4 of them are listed as ‘price’ in large letters, and ’shipping’ in small letters, and all 4 are exactly $17.13 when totaled.
I have attached a screen shot

Test of scribefire

Testing to see if this works. If so it might make me more likely to actually post when I have things I want to remeber.

Mars here we come (again)

More space links. Sadly, unlike the plucky little rovers around the equator, it seems this one will not survive it’s first winter.

I spy with my little eye something(s) that doesn’t belong….

Check out the order of the most popular list. A story about a TV show is doing better than stories about last night’s election results. It’s not even clear to me why CNN is reporting on American Idol (or dancing with the stars) at all, it’s not something I would consider news compared to 1) the disaster in Burma 2) the primaries 3) the Russians swore in a new president (will have to send Bush over to look in to his soul…oh wait Putin is still in charge never mind) 4) new FBI raids on the executive branch
