Anyone Else Noticed Amazon Just Increase Their Prices???

Tuesday, September 26. 2006

I was just adding a couple of bits to an order with Amazon that I started yesterday (I think, may be the day before) and they just increased the prices on three things in my basket

What is happening? Not the normal pound or two either, Spooks Season 4 (Xmas pressie) went from £27.99 to £31.99, Blue Planet (I like stuff underwater if you haven't noticed) went up from £17.99 to £23.99 and the Final Destination 1-3 box set went up from £15.99 to £21.24!

I learnt to stop being quite so lazy and found out that by shopping around I could get Spooks Season 4 for £27.99 and the Final Destination box set for £11.99 from Play.com with free delivery too. I need to stop being so lazy but I don't get why Amazon suddenly put their prices up by so much. Is this the sound of Xmas coming or is there something else I am not aware of? They do Blue Planet at £22.99 though so it wasn't all good news, but they are now way cheaper than Amazon...

I am going to go back to writing my thesis instead of ranting about randomness now

May be I should start a new rants category.

I've noticed the same thing. Kind of a bummer, really. They've bumped everything up a few bucks.

It does seem like it fluctuates though, too. Sometimes it goes back down for a little while. Maybe it's a freakish hidden sale or something. Who knows.

Oh, and Blue Planet is good stuff. Check out "Into the Deep" an IMAX film.

I have never seen it go up by so much before - may be they did have a big sale on or something that none of us knew about and it just ended... I ended up getting most of the DVDs from Play.com instead - held off on Blue Planet for now but the other two were the same or cheaper with free postage too.

I will have to look out for "Into the Deep" - no IMAX theatres near where I live though so it will probably weight for my next bit of travelling...
