Andreas WelschHOST
So we've seen this a, a while ago.
Andreas WelschHOST
Now we have services like, what's it called, CamelCamelCamel, that alert you if, if there's a price drop on Amazon.
Andreas WelschHOST
It's not sniping.
Andreas WelschHOST
You still need to perform the transaction yourself.
Chris LouieHOST
Yeah.
Chris LouieHOST
So I used to use CamelCamelCamel for that, and then that, that trace, that tracks it for you too.
Chris LouieHOST
Prime Day.
Chris LouieHOST
Yeah, so that was two days ago, so you can see the price drop here on Prime Day.
Jeff GametPANELIST
Actually, there's pro- there, there are plugins that you can get for your web browser that will collate these lists for you.
Jeff GametPANELIST
I, if I were a betting person, I would bet that they just use one of those browser plugins, you know, like CamelCamelCamel or something, and, uh, and spit out the list and then, um, and then wrote their ...
Jeff GametPANELIST
Well, now I'm gonna count sentences, Chuck.
Jeff GametPANELIST
Are you happy?
Brian Flanigan-ArthursPANELIST
Yeah, you know, as a-- when you mentioned that, it made me think of, uh, there's some good websites out there to kinda see if is it a kind of a real good deal or if it's just kind of like they're at-- maybe they raised the price just to lower it.
Brian Flanigan-ArthursPANELIST
Uh, CamelCamelCamel is one that I like to use.
Brian Flanigan-ArthursPANELIST
Um, you can go to that website, throw the URL of the Amazon item in-into it, and it gives you a, a graph of, of history of over time of, uh, what that price was.
Brian Flanigan-ArthursPANELIST
It can kinda give just a little insight.

Max SmartHOST
These are all reasonable things to do, and see what are they selling for? What's the normal price? Is this 20% off? Good.
Max SmartHOST
What has the price history been for this item on Amazon? There is another site called CamelCamelCamel, and, uh, it also checks the price history, and you can see how, you know, how good that is.
Max SmartHOST
Uh, shopping experts say that Prime Day deal guides can help identify worthwhile deals and avoid questionable ones.
Max SmartHOST
What you wanna do is you wanna check things like ships from or sold by.
Michael GarfieldHOST
I talk about this every single year for, good gracious, what? Ten years.
Michael GarfieldHOST
It's called CamelCamelCamel.
Michael GarfieldHOST
Say it, repeat it with me, 'cause you know I'm talking about it.
Michael GarfieldHOST
It is free.
Michael GarfieldHOST
You can also set alerts, and you should do this now, but, and, and I will tell you this, a lot of the sales have already started, but they're really gonna make a push next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Michael GarfieldHOST
But set alerts.
Michael GarfieldHOST
The move that beats the sale entirely, if you go to CamelCamelCamel, go paste the product link.
Michael GarfieldHOST
So you're actually gonna go check it out one time, and you're gonna go to the Amazon, and you're gonna copy and paste the actual link to amazon.com/ whatever.
Rich DeMuroHOST
And there are lots of tools to help you figure that out at this point.
Rich DeMuroHOST
So if you go to CamelCamelCamel or Keepa, K-E-E-P-A, or also Amazon has their own Alexa for shopping tool where you can look up the price history.
Rich DeMuroHOST
Those are a couple of ways of checking to make sure something is a deal.
Rich DeMuroHOST
Just because it's on sale, it sometimes says, oh, it's 40% off.
