Not a dishonest purchase as I see it

On another site I belong to a member stated that getting a product on Amazon prime then leaving prime was dishonest.
This led me to think of how many would not get a product if legally advertised by a company selling at a reduced price. Sometimes they sell to get rid of old stock at a cheaper price, according to this guys thoughts, as far as can make out, buying them is dishonest. Now I have no idea where he lives but I suspect in the USA as it is a USA site.
Personally if I see a bargain on a product I want I will buy it, even go as far as to hunt down the cheapest on the internet being legally sold. Who would not do the same?
So far I have managed to get a Nikon D810 cheaper on the “grey market” got a Tamron lens the same way. Even the table top camera dolly was advertised cheaper as was my Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder.
If companies mis advertise at a lower price than as this company did with the Sony then I see nothing dishonest in buying it. They realised their mistake and upped the price to match other retailers afterwards

I always shop for the best deals…im a member of Amazon Prime too so I always check prices there because of free delivery…its not dishonest to want a good deal

Yesterday I once again inadvertently pressed the join prime button which they sneakily change about to confuse people .Took me ages to find the way to cancel it.

I am no hypocrite, I get the Kids to order my stuff. :biking_man:

Yes Amazon are sneaky.

I’ve joined Prime for a discount then cancelled. And I’ll do it again. :neutral_face:

I have, too. Joined Prime, bought and paid for what I wanted, cancelled Prime all within a few minutes. I’ve done this several times in fact.

To be honest it sounds underhand and dishonest to me …
but then again …
I imagine it’s because it’s Amazon and involves a sneaky feeling of ‘if Besoz can do it so can I’.
And why not indeed.
There really shouldn’t be one rule for one and another for everyone else and Amazon have a bad reputation for workers conditions, paying taxes … etc etc and seem to get away with it.
And you can always rest assured they’ll snatch it back of you somewhere when you least expect it.
