Out of curiosity, what was the item that has such price swings?


Chest freezer.

A lot of items had these swings though: face masks were the most obvious, but virtually all emergency supplies went through major up-and-down spikes. Dry shelf-stable food, some medicines, toilet paper, etc. All of a sudden, the whole world wanted to stock up.

That made it really hard to buy those items if you have a non-emergency use for them.


Ahh I hadn't thought of COVID related price changes. Thanks for the response!
