    Put some items in your cart. Move them to Save for later. Almost every time you go back to your cart you’ll have a notification saying that prices have changed. Happens more on some days than others. Not just Amazon provided items either. Other sellers have bots that automatically adjust the prices using who knows what guidelines.

      Exactly, that’s what I did. Removed it from my cart and waited an hour and suddenly it was a little cheaper.

      I have no doubt there are bots monitoring to get every cent out of each transaction, knowing that people probably won’t care about small changes.

      There is a new promotion type used by sellers that allow us to target people who have abandoned cart. We can offer exclusive discounts to those people.

      On the other hand, I recently got 5 cents and 17 cents back for things I bought some time ago and was wrongly priced, apparently.
