Don't get that card. I used to have it but it would randomly output max volume static... Not a fun experience.
Had the same thing with a Xonar DX, probably got some permanent hearing damage from that.
Amazon is a big POS
Yes, that is the purpose of s shopping website. One big Point of Sale

Sometimes there are vendors or distribution rules that require that they don't post discounts publicly so people can't price match or other retailers can't demand a discount to match.
This is super common with niche hobby products I buy. Doesn’t make any fucking sense. Vendors will send out an email saying “hey we have a sale but we can’t tell you the dollar amount just the percentage until you put it into your cart.” I think it’s also common with some lines of luxury goods. You’ll find a few different reasons online if you Google “luxury brands hide price.”
That's a weird logic. If I cannot find it on price comparison sites, the offer doesn't exist.
That's an odd definition of non-public if the information is available to everyone. More like annoyingly public.
That is just to condition you to get accustomed to eventually having to buy it first before they let you know the price.
Which again is just to condition you to accept the fact that next they will be able to increase the price on your existing completed purchase each month for rest of your life.
It's only in the best interest of the consumer, it's not an evil tactic.

I've noticed convenience stores in my area just stopped putting out price tags.
Sounds more like an inconvenience store to me.
Sometimes there is a minimum advertised price that manufacturers will allow vendors to sell at publicly, and the price in cart is a way that vendors get around it. If that's what's happening here, OP might be getting a really good price. I don't think this is a sinister plot by AMZN.
If you assume everything's a sinister plot by Amazon, you'll be right most of the time.
