In the past these experiments I have seen always came out strictly by customer. Some customers just get cooler offers than others. The most regular buyers usually didn't get anything, neither better prices nor coupons.

Yours no-coupon ever Amazon customer since the last century and then some.

So you want to play with cookies at least, but probably with proxies.

Well, i got the AVRI 62' Jazz for under $900 right after black friday sale, got a free protec gig bag for elec guitar. I won't tell you how i got such a good deal, but one thing I can say is Amazon has the best customer service I've ever experienced on online. There was no manipulation of cookies, proxies nor tricks. :)

I've heard that also--you need to clear the Amazon cookies to get a "new customer" deal. Don't know if it's true or not.

If it's exploiting a bug in Amazon code and they hear about it, here or elsewhere, it will get fixed.
Further, I don't know what the legal issues are around giving out information which can be used to harm others. May be safe, may be not.

Either way, shouldn't such matters be kept to the level of PMs?

Harm others? How? Their system manipulates information from your computer to favor them in the long run and someone has an idea how to avoid out, and you say it can "harm others"? I don't think so.

I don't disagree with you.

I'm just saying if they came after somebody for telling how to beat their system they would come crying about how the big mean individual hurt the poor little giant corporation so badly.

Sorry I wasn't more clear about that ;)
