I was looking at a robo sweeper on Amazon and noticed it was suddenly a Black Friday special - same price.
Camelcamelcamel.com forever
Does that work for you? Everything I try it in like the last year or so it says no history.
I think sometimes they make a new listing to hide from the price history checking
I'm pretty sure Amazon neutered the camels during the pandemic.
Yeah I've seen some items that have no Amazon seller history, but have third party history... Despite Amazon themselves selling it.
Keepa browser extension has saved me thousands over the years
And maybe sneakily lower specs. They absolutely do that with televisions.
I found this out like 20 some odd years ago when I had my first job.
Black Friday is when most name brands sell their shittier models, often with less features.
Home Depot has been having daily deals that change every day. They had some workbenches on sale. Next day, they're still on "sale"
Damn, not even kidding you, I think I just fell for that last night. It arrives tonight.
