Are you saying that Amazon has different prices for different
customers? I doubt it.
Amazon did at one point. It caused a bit of a furor and the practice was
dropped.
Somebody said that "you can find out everything you need about Amazon by
comparing prices" (in reply to my comment that they knew far more about you
than you knew about them). When pricing is based on your personal history, in
order to find out "everything you need to know" you'd need to know the prices
that Amazon (or any other retailer) is charging your neighbors, and what their
personal history is. That information is not available to you, making it one
sided.
I saw the nose in the tent flap; the camel is out there.

(imagine the impact of newspaper articles "customized for you" to your personal
history... it's not farfetched at all)
