Re:Amazon is stuffing its search results pages with ads by SteveCoast on Tuesday September 11, 2018 @11:05AM (#17960379)
Trying to find real data that amazon prices are going up:

Is it this product?

It looks like the price has been roughly the same for 4 years with jumps up and down. And before that, declined a lot.

If we include inflation the price seems to be declining.

Here's a graph for a chair mat:

If anything, the graphs seem to show a lack of price discovery as it's not jumping around enough. Maybe camelcamelcamel doesn't sample at a high enough frequency.
