In a related Amazon gouge, my washing machine broke down recently so I
found the required part on Amazon. Things came up and hours later when
I finally got around to adding the part to my cart Amazon had raised the
price by $2. In this case it pushed me over the threshhold for free
shipping without having to find something cheaper than the shipping
charge to buy.
