You're going to be less-and-less capable of comparing prices on an item-by-item basis. I've written rudimentary dynamic pricing algos in the past, but it's getting very sophisticated now. There have even been instances of vendors charging more if you browsed with a Mac device.

The future of retail is dynamic pricing. So why can't we get it right?

Amazon got called out on it a few years ago (2006-07) and supposedly swore off the practice but I've heard of a few tech-savvy experiments (one conducted at my request) that produced results that *seemed* to indicate otherwise.

But keep in mind that this is NOT an Amazon-only situation. In fact, you are more likely to see dynamic pricing in less popular websites because of less public scrutiny.
