Or they would appear to work and would just be providing very wrong information
Comment on YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people

yeah and I’ve done a lot of chatting about amazon products online at reddit, forums, etc over the last 15 years or whatever and never once have heard of people getting two different prices on the same amazon link.

There are definitely different prices when I’m logged in vs when I’m not. My wife sends me a links to products, and I usually open any link in incognito windows. Several times I was not seeing the same price as her. Opening the same link on my account would show the same price.

Automatically applied coupons, and deals that don’t even require prime could potentially do this without setting the "base price. Unnsire if thats the case, but it would likely not be picked up third party price trackers.

I do get different prices I have noticed from shared links but I also don’t have a prime account. The weirder part being that a lot of the time my prices seem lower without the account.
