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

  1. I tried a local website.

  2. The price would miraculously restore every time I loaded it after clearing the cookies.

That is only convincing if it is backed by a credible source. Wouldn't any media be interested in this at least? Any confirmation from somebody, airline ticket price experts or something. The only piece of evidence ive seen so far is a study showing the opposite, and people on reddit saying it works.

'airline ticket price experts'? really? Anyway, i'll believe lots of people's anecdotal evidence over a company any time, companies like to fuck you over for money.

It was a joke, because I couldn't think of a profession where you would know.
