McFeely's deal

McFeely's has its 25-25-25 deal going again, but they've dropped the price to $20. You get 25 of 25 various wood screws for $20. That's 625 screws or about 3 cents each. I've purchased this assortment before. Great value. Ends 8/11.

When I look at that page, the price is only $20. It does say that they
are back ordered but you can still place orders.

And much of web pricing can be based on your supposed location, and even
demographics of that location:

I think the $1 shipping is being taken care of by changing the price and
charging more ...

So its really still $6 in shipping... nice...

I'll bet if we compared other items your price (those that see 20 are
lower than mine)...

Yes, the difference does seem to be in the cookies.

I have been seeing the price as $20. I deleted all of my cookies, browsing
history, etc. Then the price is $25. I went back to the link from McFeely's
email and then the price is back to $20. I now see $20 however I get to the
page for the 25-25-25 deal.

Looks like $25 here, too...and $25 shows up in the "cart total" window
if add--the only other indication is a note in another popup that
specials may not show up but will be accounted for on final checkout...

It's all in the cookies.
It's probably a "frequent customer" deal.
When you go to the website, it reads the cookie in your browser left
there the last time you ordered. The same thing that tells the browser
what to auto-fill in the customer id and password when you sign in to
checkout.

I used to order screws from McFeelys a lot, but since my local Woodcraft
started carrying the same screws, I haven't bought anything in years,
thus my cookie expired.

I get similar deals from Rockler all the time.
When I visit Rockler's website from a different computer, no deal.
