A couple of days ago Amazon.com was selling Poser 5 for about $180, and now it is $350. (And I was just about to buy it). Does anyone know if Poser 5 can be had for under $200 ? Thanks.

A while back, I noticed Amazon.com was randomly manipulating prices on certain items; I called them on it with an email, their response was that they were testing "market value" or some such. I don't know if they're still doing it, because I'm sure their customer service got lots of angry complaints from other people who'd discovered the same thing. (Rather stupid of them to do it, too, since people discovered it by comparing the price with each other online.) Still, I'd imagine theres places where it's going fairly cheaply. Try doing a google search and see what turns up.

You could try: http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?cat=SOFPOS&WhatsNew=Yes Shipping will put you over $200, but probably not much over. Dale LaRoy Splitstone

"A while back, I noticed Amazon.com was randomly manipulating prices on certain items; I called them on it with an email, their response was that they were testing "market value" or some such." Wow! That's stupid marketing. When selling a unique item, like the only 1938 Cadillac in town, it's possible to choose any price and wait till somebody wants the item badly enough to pay that price. But in an instantly competitive market like online sales of software, randomly jacking up the price is just weird.

They've been doing the price testing thing for quite some time but that seems like an awfully large fluctuation. I just checked and it's listed as $139.99 (on the US site). Perhaps it was just a temporary glitch?

I think that Netscape users should organize a boycott of Amazom.com since it seems they are the ones always being charged more. Dale LaRoy Splitstone

People still use Netscape? I thought it was defunct... mac
