How was the life before dynamic pricing?

It drives me crazy when prices of some products changes multiple times in just several minutes span ... I'm curious about your experience with buying stuff/planning holidays before dynamic pricing became a common thing.

That sounds like a great experience, maybe not the fastest way to get a ticket, but at least prices were not hiked up like they are now

Oh the prices were hiked. Just everyone hiked them the same amount and they knew you were not going to find another better price. Said another way, just because the prices were fixed didn't often result in savings for the customer....

Prices on average were higher, but you also always knew roughly how much stuff costs. Now the same vacation can be either really cheap or ridiculously expensive or anything in-between so you have to spend a lot of time reaearching and looking around for a deal.
