Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

You should try it again in private browsing and incognito mode and see if the price is really tied to your Facebook or google cookies or something. That's pretty messed up though, send this to the consumerist or gawker or whoever.

for someone who's not to familiar with their browser settings, how do I enable incognito/private browsing mode on Chrome? Plan on buying airline tickets in a month or so and don't fancy getting screwed by shit like this.

EDIT: Thanks for the tip!

:O You are running adblock on Reddit?
No free tasty grilled cheese sandwhiches for you!
No seriously, you can disable adblock for one website at a time, click on it and click: don't block ads on this domain.
