I can't actually visualize what Amazon looks like at the moment I don't currently have a way to check, but I'm positive if it shows me prices.

I know it does because I use it to filter out the cheap crap that infests Amazon. If something is too cheap it's not worth buying. So I always order cheapest to most expensive and then scroll down a little bit but I definitely can see the actual prices.

I wonder if the a/b testing this if they are then anybody who doesn't see prices should point blank refuse to actually buy anything. We don't want this becoming common

These agreements are specific to certain products. Amazon continues to show prices under normal circumstances.
