Did Facebook Lower Their Ad Prices?

I was making a campaign the other night when I noticed that the suggested price was 1/2 of what is was before.

Go create a campaign and you'll see how the suggested prices are really low.

Or.. Is it just me?

I think now is just less competition on what are you targeting...

I'm seeing some lower prices, but not that much lower.

I guess facebook was fixing something because the prices are back up.

Yes, I saw in a blog post that said increased about 40%. However, we need to get a very good CTR.

I did noticed that yesterday and also noticed my target demo shrank from 30,000 to 1,100.
I mentioned this on my follow along campaign post.
When I uploaded my ads Monday night my recommended minimum bid was around $1.50 but when I started to run this ads it was around $0.80.
So I put $0.65 and run these ads, I was getting same impressions and clicks.
I just checked the minimum bid, it is now abound $1.00.

My suggested bids for new ads are almost always between 0.08 - 0.13 c. It's just a bug.

Must be a bug but how do you know the "true" prices. No good bidding whatever and paying over the odds if you use for example the 60% strategy.

Facebook's suggested bids always fluctuate. It there's so many factors of there suggested bids. Time of day, Competition Facebook thinks your ad has, etc and if they are on they are on their period or not at that point in time.
