The Keepa browser extension is a great way to see that grift, with graphs. Every time someone tells me about a good deal on Amazon, I show them that it's a price markup from the price 3-6 months ago, and teh "sale" is 10% off that marked up price.

How does that compare with camelcamelcamel? I used to hear about CCC a lot and now I never do, which makes me think bad things were found out about it.

On desktop, it shows a price history right within the Amazon product page. I love that part.

There is/was a plugin for CCC on chrome to do that, too.
