Amazon.com's "price tracker" - Blu-ray Forum

smah100 · 10-25-2009, 05:37 AM

I see that a few people are able to access a dvd's previous sale prices via some sort of "price tracker" or "price history" on amazon.com. Stupid question, but how can I access this? I would love to investigate some previous sale prices before I make purchases.

I don't know about you guys, but even though I see some great deals, I'm always curious to see if it retailed lower on the site.

Thanks for your time!
Cheers, Simon!

its actually a blu-ray.com feature.
Search the title tou want to track and hit enter. Near the price is a green looking icon thats kinda like a graph and click that.

You can set a price tracking by clicking the tab under the coverart

I'm not aware of Amazon make available a price tracker, but Amazon does make it's data available to developers. I believe most of what you're hearing is from third party sites/developers. You can check this site's new deals list:

What does the "Third Party Price" listed on each Blu-ray page mean? Is that the price the title is going for at other retailers besides Amazon?

on amazons site, there are other people/companies that sell items as well as amazo. those other sellers are considered third party.

Thank you, that makes perfect sense! Should have thought of that before asking.

Is the price tracker icon for Amazon no longer available? I don't see it when viewing titles.

Amazon forced the site to remove it. If you want to track stuff on Amazon, I suggest using CamelCamelCamel.
