Honeypot pricing....
I was looking at a item right before Christmas - watching ebay prices but also did a google shopping search - it was $37.xx @ Amazon new with free shipping vs. $45 or more used on ebay. I said I would order the next day when I had more time (had a gift credit in cue and didn't want to use it for that).
Went back and it went to almost $43. It was still cheaper than used ones on ebay but I think low price/google search is to pull you in. If you don't bite that second - it knows you want THAT ITEM so it jacks up the price enough so it is still cheapest but not a RYF deal.
Just me .02ยข
It's crazy how they track items you've looked at and are looking for.
