Would you give me a source? For example, recently I needed an electric drill
for... some reason. I searched a cheap one for Amazon. And I purchased one.
Around a month ago too, I was searching an electric drill for Amazon but I
did not buy it then. I always use my iPhone when I buy something on the
internet. Amazon undersells almost all things (inclding physical? street?
shops), besides, if you pay ¥500 a month, you always get quick free delivery
and you can receive goods at kind of a street public box.
One curious thing was that "after" I purchased the drill, I found the price
of the same drill increased around ¥1000.
Also, I have searched a web camera, I ordered one which was listed on h-node
(Logicool). But I could not receive it for some reason and it was returned to
Amazon (no additional cost for me). After a while, I tried to buy it again. I
found that the price of all and only Logicool's web cameras were increased to
almost double or triple. That might be an instance which you say.

"Your data is important for us" :D It should be. No doubt about it.
By the way, all my online English tutors use Windows except one tutor who was
a computer engineer (she uses Ubuntu). The company (DMM) "recommends" tutors
to use Windows and Chrome for "stable internet connection". Some Serbian
tutors said that they are constantly getting pop-up tailored ads on desktop,
not in a browser, on desktop, while their machines are activated, from boot
up to shut down. Can you believe that? I wonder if it is a normal common
thing for Windows users.
