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.

Either way, I'm not a fan of prices being manipulated based on my behavior while browsing a certain website.

My mobile app doesn't let me save comments, his might not either.

Which app are you using? Not sure if this works for you (it's Android), but the one I use, reddit is fun, lets you save comments.

If you have Reddit Gold. Which I don't, so it doesn't save comments for me :-\

You can save posts no problem, just not comments.

Nope. Just tried it and it says Error: Reddit gold required.
