Price Tracker

[are1981]

A few weeks ago I noticed that the first link in the price tracker e-mail is wrong. Example: I got this e-mail six and a half hours ago:

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers: Damn The Torpedoes
Current price: $21.99
Your target price (+ your price range): $26 + $0

Blu-ray.com: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Tom-Pe...Blu-ray/16236/
Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042KZJ50

I formatted the link bold. As you can see, "Amazon.com" is part of the faulty link, even though it's on the next line. It'd be nice to see this fixed.

The first link above does not contain "Amazon.com", but does in the e-mail I recieved.

This is a parse error in your e-mail program... what e-mail program are you using?

Edit: I added a dummy space " " to the end of the link, which should break the link parsing in your e-mail program and thus fix the problem. Thanks for reporting

I Have 2 Titles In My Tracking List That Are being Highlighted As "Target Price Reached" But The Price Is Higher Than Set (I Didn't Receive An E-mail But Every Time I Go To My List It Shows Them As Highlighted)

can you make % a search option in price tracker so when you click on it, it put it from highest to lowest or the other way thanks

It's because your target price + price range > current price. Lower the price range or set it to zero and the highlightening will go away

You mean sort by %-off? Fixed

It appears that blu-ray.com has a different version (?) of THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE than Amazon because the price being tracked doesn't match and it actually says "Listed on Amazon marketplace" as if it's out of stock. But an in-stock version appears when searching on Amazon. Though that version does not come up in a search at blu-ray.com.

Also want to say thanks to whomever changed the price chart pop-up on the "My Price Tracker" page to appear completely within the page. Very cool.

Hmm... my guess is that Amazon must have changed the ASIN at some point... I updated it to point to the one you suggested

Its a different product thats why. The original release doesnt have the DVD but 2 blu-rays, this release appears to be one BD and 1 BD. This happened with alot of Disney titles, they were re-released with DVDs.

Maybe add a new entry? or edit the existing one?

Awesome, thanks!

Alright, this appears to be happening again with THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI:

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Br...wai-Blu-ray/9/

Unless I'm missing something.

I just noticed a movie (hard candy) in my price tracked was highlighted, but was $7 more than I had it selected. When I clicked on the movie, its price is within my range at Best Buy, but not amazon. I'm not sure if their is any easier way for me to have found that out without clicking on the movie. Maybe have both the amazon and best buy price charts, but then whats stopping Joe Smoe for asking the same of any other website. I also don't remember getting any email, but as it looks, that price has been cheaper on Best Buy for a while. I'm not sure on a solution, but I wanted to my 2 cents........Keep up the good work!

I'm might be wrong, but I believe that is due to the item only being available through third-party sellers.

That's correct.

Ive added some new movies (austalia), which have appeared in the database.

But when Ive added the covers they are not appearing. How long should it take?

They should go online very quickly unless they were denied by an admin for some reason.
