True story #1: whenever we go on vacation, wife and I check rates for Uber and Lyft on both of our phones, and consistently we get different rates up to 15% delta.

True story #2: I am eyeing a nice Seiko watch on Amazon, the price has been oscillating between $296 and $316. Whatever, thinking about waiting for black friday. Then the other day the price jumped to $350; weird.

So, I switched to Firefox, used the VPN to a different US location, checked the watch and the very same watch was $316. It was surreal.

Looking forward to hack it in a way that favors consumers.
