Getting the Lowest Price on Amazon

When searching for an item on Amazon, you may, as I often do, is ask for items to be sorted by 'Price:Low to High. This often does not produce the lowest priced items.
Try clicking on one or the items displayed and scroll to near the bottom where it shows 'Customers who viewed this item also viewed'
Scoll left and right and you will often find something with a lower price
e.g. Search term: Monocular
Amazon 'Lowest Price:£7.55
Lowest price found £3.05

e.g. Search term: iphone 7 case
Amazon 'Lowest Price:£8.99
Lowest price found £4.99 (several at this price)

Good old Amazon, masters of half-truths and customer manipulation.

    Yes, this is annoying! The filter does work, but it includes the prices from all the third party sellers (in many cases, used items), and doesn't take into account the extra cost of shipping on those.
