How is it possible that prices online vary so much?

I am on the hunt for tall leather boots w/o a heel and found a pair I loved on endless.com. they were originally $180, and now on sale for $98. great!

right before I started the ordering process, I decided to google the brand & style names. I found them on amazon.com for $53! same boots exactly.

how can different sites vary so much in price?

I am very glad they do though! Chat Icon

amazon sometimes makes mistakes with their pricing. one day last year they were listing a pair of $400 (priced same now) frye boots for $176. i grabbed the phone, called zappos and they matched amazon's price by 110%. the very next day, the amazon price was again, $400. due to their price mistake, i was able to buy 2 pairs for less than the "real/original" price of one pair.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them and ALWAYS receive compliments when i wear.
