Con-SER-va-tives can gas about FREE EN-TER-PRISE and the GENIUS of the MARKETPLACE, but this story reminds us of why we do not entirely trust Amazon.com. Put items in your Cart and leave them there and their prices go up and down, up and down for no good reason. Sometimes they go sharply up; occasionally (less so in our experience) they go sharply down. Obviously retailers need leeway in pricing but the way they do it puts us in mind of the Incredible Shrinking Hershey Bar yore, and it's one reason ordinary people must grab hold of their wallets ever more tightly.
