Default Amazon Heads Up

In general, Amazon offers some good deals.


But there is a "however" documented by recent
observations that deserves elaboration:


I've bought quite a few tools from Amazon, and often they've had the lowest
price as well as free shipping. *But* you need to do your homework, as
sometimes you can find better deals elsewhere at a given moment. I also
dislike their use of "list" prices which are so ridiculously high that their
claimed discount is meaningless. Their prices really do go up and down too,
leave a few items in your shopping cart for awhile and note how the prices
change over the weeks and months.


I suspect they are doing that deliberately to grab your attention and
maybe get you to order the stuff.
