I don't know about the prices jumping around. I know if you pre-order something, you're guaranteed whatever the lowest price it goes to before shipping.
And I love Prime. It can pay for itself in one or two orders.
I bought a dog kennel on amazon and it was available for amazon prime. That thing weighs 80 pounds or more and I had free shipping on it.
Also, living in California, if I order something with the Prime "two day shipping" in the afternoon and it ships from the Nevada warehouse, I'll have it the next morning. 12-14 hour turnaround is not shabby. Though once getting used to that, waiting for orders from other countries or even worse domestic media mail, seems like an eternity.
