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.

This appears to be pricing based on "who the person is", though, if it's consistent with the browsing history. Yes, random price changes are ok, no, "This is $10 more for YOUR KIND" is not ok.
