And priced for the average human! Wow.

Damn, if I didn’t need the fitness tracking support of my Garmin watch, I’d be all over that!

I held onto my Pebble for so long, wearing it from launch until about a year ago, where I got a Garmin Smartwatch.

So many things I loved about it, especially its simplicity and legendary battery life (at that time).

Some people don’t miss a day of work in 27 years, specifically to avoid those milestones and their family. Who’s to say this guy hasn’t been playing the long game? LOL

I never liked CCC for some reason, not sure if it was the UI or what. Been rocking Keepa for many years without any trouble. I set price notifications for items that I can wait for, but usually check price history for everything else.

I’m actually glad that the Amazon wishlist also tells you that an item is now priced lower than when it was added to the wishlist. It makes it a little easier to identify price drops.

Of course. And since enforcement is basically non-existent, it doesn’t matter how illegal it is!

How does one actually enable Full Page Copy? I don’t see any specific options to enable it in the preserved formats, and I tested two captures, and none had captured the page in HTML.

Using it via docker, if that makes a difference. Confirmed that v2.6 is being used.

Keepa

This one browser extension has likely saved me thousands over the years. Since most of my purchases can wait, I’m often scoring the true lowest price for an item when I do have to buy something.

In the last 5 years, Amazon (for me) has had lower food prices than nearly all local grocery stores for certain items. The "trick’ is to park those items in a wishlist and set a notification for when the price drops to a level you are willing to pay (via browser add-on), then you can really save a lot.

But for most items, it’s a gamble to assume you are getting the lowest price, even when they are on sale. But then again, I think most stores play the same games, so consumers are always on the losing end no matter where they shop.

I think most stores do this. But with Amazon, you can at least use a browser plugin to actually know when you’re getting a good deal.

That said, if I could avoid Amazon, I likely would.

I think many companies will put sales on overpriced items to make it seem like a deal, but it’s hard to catch the ones who inflate the prices just before a sale happens (which brings the sale price down to the regular price). The latter is a bigger problem, IMO.
