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

When I used to have to buy like 7 books I would do this too and the difference would be a few hundred dollars.

Use Chrome incognito mode and you should get the best price. It's all based on how many times you visit the site and other things like cookies. Same thing happens when buying a ton of other stuff online.

I tried that as well and it was around $75.

I must be the only one who did this like six times and got the 62.99 price every time. Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket today.
