I read an article a year or two ago about bots changing pricing to compete with other sellers, and sometimes getting it horribly wrong. I think it was more about the Amazon marketplace, but I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon themselves were into autonomously adjusting pricing to maximise profit.

BTW showing as $33.11 for me too.

usually go up and down about four times a day swinging between the same upper and lower price. it's why if you display prices on your sites taken from the API you have to put a timestamp too.
