Something must be driving up the price of books in Spain?
this is geotargeting. More and more websites show different prices for different countries, first and foremost travel agencies and flight tickets.
That has been like that for more than twenty years. I used to work in the airline industry, I know quite well how to get the best car rental prices. Nothing new about it at all. Airlines tickets, yep - train tickets, they're catching up. However, inside the EU there is little reason for such big price differences on e.g. consumer goods, unless they're produced locallyor unless they;re subject to local taxation or price regulation. Read "little reason" == "it's illegal".
Also many sites now adjust the prices to your consumer behaviour, via your history on their site or via tracking you thru the web. If they think you like to purchase expensive goods, the prices go up for you.
That one is new to me, I guess it's possible, but I would hate to have to write te book-keeping system. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.5°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
