How Retailers Use Personalized Prices

So their basic premise is a lie.... "We find you the lowest price"...

In fact they are finding the lowest prices, then trying to maximize the amount you pay for it.

Disgusting.

"We find you the lowest price (that we think you'll actually purchase)".

Yes. This if a very old concept and everything used to be sold this way in the market place. No price tags or signs anywhere. Learn how to haggle and try and get the friend discount.
