It's pretty remarkable to watch companies like overstock.com use algorithms to set their pricing
My wife wanted new nightstands and I've been looking at a pair on their website all week. Every time I look the price is different, usually within a $30 range. Last night I finally pulled the trigger but accidently shipped it to my old address. Oops. Overstock doesn't let you change the shipping address, you have to cancel the order entirely. So I cancelled it and placed a new order right away. This time however the price had increased by $7.

Obviously they raised the price because they knew there was a good chance I would place the order again, but I wish I new the secret to cracking their code so I could get the lowest price from the start.
