Amazon raised prices of EVERYTHING today
I have about 30-40 blu-rays in my shopping basket at Amazon to track prices. As of this morning (3-17) every single one of them went up in price. Guess they weren't interested in selling anything on St. Patrick's Day.
I'm sure they'll go down again - just seems like a waste of everyone's time to keep yo-yo-ing like they do.

Ya, all of mine went up too. A board game went down in price though... I'm sure tomorrow Amazon will lower all of the prices again. It's just like the stock market, after all...

I have 30 items in my cart, a mix of DVDs, book, CDs, video games, electronics. 2 went up, 1 went down, the rest didn't change today. So they did not raise the price of everything.

Truthfully, has anyone taken the time to check everything Amazon sells, to see if it all indeed went up to price?

I seriously doubt it all went up in price. However, it is true that Amazon's stock market pricing has become ridiculous to the point where I don't even try to follow it. Unless I really need something specific, I have a habit of sticking to their warehouse deals or any other third party vendor that has the tag of Fulfilled by Amazon. Just seems easier that way.

I have about two dozen blu-rays on my Wish List, and almost every one jumped 5%-10%. Lot of movies went from 30% Off to 25% Off. Hopefully this isn't part of a new pricing strategy. Maybe they're preparing for a big sale?

most of my basket went up.... but not all... so it isn't accross the board.. but then again.. they have to pay for all the free trials of prime they just gave out..

You guys know that keeping movies in your cart or wishlist prevents them from showing up in your Gold Box, right?Every 5% helps.

Re: Amazon raised prices of EVERYTHING today
There was a decent price hike on many titles I wanted a few days ago as well.
(e.g. Been waiting for a good deal on Contact & Deep Impact BDs... went from about $16.99 to $19.99 & $20.XX.)
A couple audio CDs I wanted went up 2-3 dollars as well.
Many prices are no better than Best Buy now
.
I heard that sometimes price hikes mean a big sale is coming - hope so. I won't be buying too much media at Amazon if it stays this way.

Yes ... I do it just before watching every DVD (and now Blu-Ray, just in case) in my collection every week to ensure that DVD-rot has not set in ... (anybody care to dig up that thread?)
