Even if you re-search immediately, you'll see the original low prices, and it'll give you another inflated price in the cart. If it were really just price changes, the new search would catch the price change. I'm so sick of these scam sites! | |

Private browsing alone might not do it, there are other heuristics that are used to identify repeat visitors, but dynamic pricing definitely tries to raise prices on subsequent visits to incentivise purchases. Suffice to say, I didn't remain at that company long after I found this out, it's immorral, but it's no myth | |
