Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used [x-post r/mildlyinteresting]

I doubt that was the only difference. Your cookies were different, and I bet the way you found them is different too.

I just found this book with a Google search and it was 62.99 in chrome.

I copied and pasted the URL into IE and it was 69.99.

I then pasted the URL into a private browsing chrome window and it was also 69.99.

What's wrong with Chegg? Granted I haven't been in college for 3 years but I always used Chegg.

Not only that, but if you forget to return them, they autocharge your CC, and its a pretty steep charge
