I'm trying to figure out Amazon's pricing policy. I'm in the market for a DSLR camera. A couple of weeks ago, Amazon had it for $649. Since I don't need it for about a month, I waited to purchase. About 10 days ago, they dropped the price to $614. Then over the week end, when I checked on it, they had it at $584 on Sat morning but when I went back in the evening to make the purchase, it was back at $614. This morning it's back at $649.

It's not that big of a deal, and since I'm not in a hurry, I just started to wonder about their pricing policy. I kept going to their site to look at the camera, mainly to make sure it was the right choice for my needs.

My question is this, since they can track what I look at and the frequency, can they change the pricing automatically, just to me, each time I check in, taking it up and down to motivate me to pull the trigger?

Any thoughts.
