8 cents of saving is so awesome, especially on a 500 dollars item. Damn you Amazon - seriously, 8 cents? All of my hard work, moving the mouse cursor accurately to the "click for details" link while keeping myself from going insane.... 8 cents off?

There has to be a law about this.

Does anyone know why they do this? I am sure it's not that great for their brand and I really doubt people will buy because of an 8c saving. In fact I think some people will be turned off and not buy simply because of that.

Haha. That is pretty funny. Normally my boys there at Amazon are not that bad with the hidden sale prices and whatnot. LoL.

Free shipping is the key there.

Free shipping *with amazon prime*

If only amazon prime didnt cost $80 a month, and they randomly try to tag it onto your account when you buy stuff.

If an item goes on sale, it should be at least a 10% minimum of the original price. I don't know why they don't already have a system like that in place.

At a supermarket near me there are a few items that are always on sale for like 10 cents of.... so the sign says something like: ~~$2.09~~$1.99.

That is what I'm reminded of here... a perpetual sale isn't a sale lol... it's bullshit marketing.

Yeah I see this a lot too! I always like to buy stuff on sale so this always bothers me. It's also annoying when the sale price goes up after a week
