I had 30 or so items in my Amazon cart before Prime Day. Today I’ve found the cart total has increased by $200 or so to over $2000.
My Shopping Cart Went up on Prime Day

OP realises that sales aren't actually "sales" !!!!
:) You speak truely. Seriously - I wasn’t so cynical that I thought prices would go up on sale days. But now I have genuinely learnt that “sales aren't actually "sales" !!!!”
Sometimes they are, especially in the past when Amazon was trying to grow in Australia, I got some real bargains.
Now they jack up the price and then discount it.
Yes I think its halarious!
First time?
Nope, just naïve.
First time?
His head was feeling light…
Yep same for me, nothing has gone down
bezos's new luxury yacht isn't just going to buy itself. think of someone else besides yourself for once …
You're method of comparison isn't really valid. Have those 30 items been advertised to be reduced as part of this sale?
Some Amazon prices change often. For example, I'm watching a few variants of a product that costs about $150 and there is a regular swing in price of between $5 and $20 depending on the variant.

LOL this is expected every time mate.
Yeah, I noticed similar increases. Easy to verify on 3 Camels.
The sales listed for Prime Deal days were arranged with suppliers back in the first week of September
The supplier conditions for this sale only states "Minimum 15% off current price and beat lowest price in the last 30 days"
Not sure if you lock the deal in back in September then drop the price before this sale if the product would still be eligible
Good point. also we have no idea if this is based on one product being increased - like now not on sale, which could affect the whole parcel rather than all the products.
Like so much alarmism, without knowing the details…
use the Honey extension, it does the exact sae thing regarding tracking prices on amazon, but it also adds codes and vouchers when you checkout at other sites, it sometimes randomly saves me $15 on ubereats and similar sites
Doesn't that track every website you visit? That's how it would be able to offer that functionality. Not sure I am prepared to do that for a few dollar discount. Camel Camel at least only gets activated when you are on the Amazon website
Thanks for that - I’ll give it a try.
They happens sometimes when you add items that are on sale and the sale ends. Sales on Amazon are ever changing.
It also happens with supermarkets lists. The same list can be more expensive from week to week.
Me too. I had my eye on some items for a few weeks. Prices were stable. Added them to my cart the day before Prime day but decided to wait till next morning in case the prices dropped. Next morning, the prices of all 3 had gone up. 2 were very small increases (less than a dollar) but one of them went from $68.26 to $80.47.
Thanks for sharing.
