Amazon, scam ?

[Randy222]

Product store has one price, Amazon then bumps it by $1 when adding to cart from store?

Prices change all the time on amazon.

In this case you need to go to the right hand side of the item page and click "Other sellers"

I found the same set for $30.35. When I added it to the cart the price was still $30.35.

The pics I show, the right side pic is from clicking on Add To Cart from seller's store (left pic).

If I dont login the store price carries into the cart. After I login the price jumps almost $1 in the cart. Scam.

Is the product available from multiple sellers?
I have had it sometimes happen that after putting something into the cart, the seller, and thus the price, changed.

I hope you didn't buy it. Because that stuff on amazon is made in China, even though it says it is made in USA. It is a Chinese OEM/ODM customization. If you want factory can print your name on it and you'll be selling your own self centering drill bits. Anyway, you can buy 4 piece set for $2.15 a set if you order 100 sets minimum, or you can pay retail price of $2.58 for a 3 piece set. Plus some other items to make it to $10 for a free shipping.

You actually believe there is a company in USA that makes these?

Lookalikes, not the same product. The Ningbo Yaohai product has knurling alongside the setscrew, the Snappy product has knurling above the setscrew.

I tried to make it clear.

I went into the Snappy Tools store, found the item, hit the button "add to cart". It shows the item in the cart, being sold by Snappy Tools. Not logged in its the same price, after login the cart price went up about $1.

Its a bit deceptive as there is no real "Snappy tools store" its just a listing of their items available from various sellers. Which is why when you click "other sellers" you'll see a few prices.

Yes, that is a "quirk" of Amazons storefront.

Whatever is listed as "Visit the XYZ Store" is generally reffering to the brand of the product you are currently viewing.
The seller can, and often is, totally unrelated. Exept for the brands that have an actual official Amazon Store, iE are selling on Amazon themselves.

Snappy Tools does not seem to do that, but that could be a visibility difference, since i am browsing from germany.
I see only two sellers for the product: "uptown deals" and "Capital Supplies"

I'm surprised the FTC lets them get away with that.
