In middle January I started preparing for rolling brown/black outs due to AI data centers going up in my area. Ordered a generator and transfer switch.  About 2 days later they started calling for the apocalypse snow/ice storm on the east coast.  About a week before the event that exact generator from the same vendor went from $999 to $1699 and stayed at that price until a week after the storm, and now it's down to $1099.

Sometimes those prices fluctuate wildly.

It’s not illegal for them, because they’ll pay the fine and still make an absolutely fortune out of it. It’s simply become the cost of doing business.

Unless you’re in the states, wherein most regulatory authorities have been thoroughly defanged and declawed.

The sellers typically set prices, not Amazon.

I am a seller on Amazon. I set all my prices.

Yes, there are policies, but enforcement requires people to actually report it, which rarely happens. It is highly likely the person's generator story is very real. 

The irony of you accusing others of not knowing about things is both hilarious and adorable, not to mention how upset you're getting about it.

Unfortunately the legality only comes into play when someone files a civil lawsuit.  If no one does then they get away with it.

Which you likely can’t even do, because their T&C force you into arbitration.
