Ask HN: What good or service had unusual price changes during the pandemic?

Please indicate the good or service, the price direction [ decrease | increase | fluctuate], and if possible the approximate magnitude of change.

Example: House prices in the Netherlands | increase | 12%

Many things seemed to go up in price. Well at least on amazon they did. Most notable was workout equipment. Dumbbells I bought a year before pandemic are up about 50%.

In general we are finding anytime we put something in our Amazon basket, and do not buy it, the price goes up within a few days. Maybe they are playing games with us...
