Intermezzo 1

So, Amazon, what the fuck?

I went to Amazon today to see if they could possibly get me a better price on a subscription to Arizona Highways than what I could get on the Arizona Highways' own website.


As you can see, the Arizona Highways website boasts a very reasonable $24 for 1 year's subscription, so it's just basic cheapness on my part to look for a better price. Let's check Amazon.


Darn, $24 as well. But at least there I'd save $23 off the price of . . . of . . .

Wait.

If the magazine's own site is selling it for $24, then how is Amazon saving me money? Who exactly is charging this regular retail price of $47.88?

Very deceptive, Amazon.
