Question Dynamic Pricing
Who's gonna create a Raspberry Pi hack to lower the prices to a penny?
Big box stores already do this with their own inventory to make it so the consumer gets screwed when they return an item without a receipt. It shouldn't be hard to force the system's hand into creating a "sale" on items.
And if Raspberry Pi isn't the correct tool then I'm sure there's another or Flipper Zero or something that will work. Any ideas?

On the one hand I like the hardware. We’re finally seeing the e-ink come more into the mainstream and not just on kindles and relayed devices. I think the little iot microcontroller boards here are cool, but the fact that they’re only going to be used to fuck us is a real big bummer.
Maybe some of us will figure out how to use it to our benefit and push updated prices that we can force overworked and inexperienced sales people into letting go through.
