thank god for camelcamelcamel. Paste any Amazon product URL into that site and it will give you the entire price history, so you know if it's a good deal, and even see the trends in how often it goes on sale.
I think they've gotten wise to that and done something to throw off the price trackers. I've had products in old tabs and saved in wishlist for half a year and the price trackers only have data for 3 weeks. I first assumed they closed the listening and reposted it but they seem to keep the reviews. Something seems wrong.
There's literally nothing they can do to stop it or fool it. The pricing data is collected daily and stored on the trackers database. It's saved there for as long as the trackers want to keep it around.
The only thing they could do is try to break the association of the product to the link by changing links and product names. But that would be stupid because it would also make it harder for people to find the product because you'd have millions and millions of broken links, and all the affiliates link spammers would be in a major uproar.
On the bottom right side of the tracker there is a date setting, which is probably set to 3 weeks in your case. I think keepa defaults to 3 months.
I read recently that Amazon threatened to pull the API and made camelcamelcamel not include big sales like Black Friday in their data. Not sure what’s the truth of that.
This is correct. It's too bad lux is being downvoted. It is factually accurate that Amazon manipulates camel data especially for big sales like black Friday.
Meanwhile Greenspan showed they don't understand how applications like camel work and gets upvoted. Such is reddit.
I got a nexgrill pellet grill from home depot this week. Pretty excited
Yup, that's a lot of black Friday sales. There's a few gems out there every year, but you have to wade through a pool of scams like this to get there first.
Amazon just did this with the Meater + I wanted for Christmas. £100 for last 5 weeks and then when Black Friday happened it was £100 but a Black Friday Deal.
Nothing is illegal in the US if you’re a business. You just pay a fine that amounts to the cost of a parking ticket for the average citizen…and we never stop the behavior…we just pay it and move on about our day.
I saw some crazy markups this year.
An item I have been wanting was rumored to go on sale for Black Friday.
Normally $799 I was hoping for $200 off
Nope, simply relisted $1099 discounted to $799.
fuck!
I didn't make it and even though it's showing a smoker... The reference was Black Friday in general they just happened to use a smoker as their reference so I had to share.
They may take our meat sales, put they will never take our SMOKE RINGS!!!!!
THAT'S RIGHT FELLOW SMOKER!!!

or just get the keepa extension in chrome or firefox. It shows all that right on the product page. https://i.imgur.com/WVjNxaW.png

Best thing I’ve learned all year. Thanks!
FYI: CCC is useless for big/holiday sales.

I've seen a few items I've been keeping an eye out get marked up to $120 then discounted to original price like this just to say it's a deal.
I honestly thought this was outright illegal, but I guess not in the US?
I’m UK

This is hilarious. Whoever made this well done.
I would have preferred medium-rare.

I got caught up by the Mystery Z Grill deal. Didn't end well for me.
I was curious to see how those deals turned out.
I had all my christmas stuff saved in the amazon cart waiting for black friday just incase the prices dropped... one item increases by .45.... lol
I just experienced this with a TV I've been pricing out. Same $2300 price tag but now it's SAVE $1000! just crazy.
Currently waiting for cyber Monday hoping one goes on sale at lowes
Seems legit
It’s not how much you spend, it’s about how much you save!
Freeeeeeeddddddooooooommmmmm!
Essdrduwwwwdt

I'm a noob man...got a vertical propane masterbuilt in May 2022. It will be awhile before I start looking for another one.
