This is something I actually came across a while ago, but never got around to blogging it. With the recent news of Dell’s Open PC Costs More Than Windows Box it seemed like I might as well stop putting it off.
Here is a set of screenshots, taken not more than minutes apart in both Firefox and Epihpany of the exact same URL, note the price:
Every time I reloaded the page I got a different price! I even got different prices based on what browser I was using, however it was unclear if this was completly random or actually based on cookies. At one point I was even redirected to a completly different product!
I don’t know if this is still true with dell’s website, I have not visited it since.

From the SS it looks like those are different models being listed (2nd SS)
In the screenshots the items have different names too, one has 2001 in it’s name and one 2005.
You’re not the only one. I got it all day. Then new products appeared, then dispeared. I saved my cart came back and then the items changed price. I went to change them and the price dropped. Its werid. I think they might be breaking because its ASP.NET.
Guys, did you even read my post?
