I was about to order an aks women's self design flared kurta that was sold by the seller retailnet. It showed that there was only one piece left and i hurried to buy it but i couldn't as it showed that the product is out of stock for my address pincode and told me to try another address. I live in chennai 600057 and i tried other pincodes which belong to some of my friends but it was of no use and again it told me that it is out of stock for the given pincode. And immediately there was a huge hike in the price of the product! And now they are able to deliver the same product to my address with so much higher price!! What kind of act is this??

I think these incidences are common with online shopping sites. They have some batch jobs that run in the background and when they want to hike the prices, these batch jobs modify the internal database so that the product is shown out of stock or can not be delivered to this pin code till the new price reflects in their systems. Everyone would get the same message, it's just that since one customer does not know other we are unaware of such tactics and believe that the product is out of stock. These sites are always live and generally not taken down completely unlike a local shop who can modify his billing machine overnight when the shop is closed so that he can sell the next customer coming next day morning the same item with higher price.
