New to site yesterday. Very happy to have found. While searching Classical yesterday, All Labels, All Venders, the lowest price was shown in red on the right side of the page; helpful in determining if I need bother thinking about going any further. Today the prices are not there when doing the search. Cannot figure out if there is something I could be doing to get the prices to show.

If there are no prices showing, that means there are no vendors with the item.

Yesterday there were pretty much prices (lowest price, in red) for every item on the search page. Today there are none. When I click on the selection, that page shows prices from numerous vendors, so that selection is available from vendors but that lowest price is not showing on the search page.

If you don't select a vendor it will show a drop down box with a list of (available) vendors to select from. If you do select a vendor it will display their (lowest) price. In the latter case, prices come from a cache here and, if old, the vendor will be interrogated for up to date prices. I'm not sure of Amazon's current policies but sometimes they appear to throttle such queries which will result in a blank. You can reduce the chance of this happening by doing narrower searches or trying again later. If you really want to see up to the minute pricing, select an individual title. I hope this helps.
