#12Reminds me of stocks. How do you tell if the price is at lowest? If it is not at it's lowest you are losing money. If it is at lowest and you didn't buy it you lose money too.
IMO, "price is at lowest" doesn't make sense at all. If I'm are interested in buying something, waiting for a while to save a few bucks would give me more pleasure than knowing what the lowest price of this product ever was.

#13Also see Camelcamelcamel ( http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/ ) - they do a great job of price tracking on Amazon. They have historical data for a surprising number of products too.
Camelcamelcamel isn't bad for Amazon but I prefer http://TrackIf.com too. They do Amazon and about 1,100 other sites.

#14We do this at my company, https://trackif.com . More than products (for instance we'll track rubygems, npmjs & github). I just haven't gotten off my butt to write a blog post about it since I figured "price tracking" wasn't a topic that'd interest the HN community.
There is no topic that isn't of interest to the HN community as long as it expands our knowledge.

Don't worry. I called him out on that too. He just got excited about discovering a new community (HN showed up on Google Analytics.)

#19Tried it on a product on Amazon I like to watch prices on [1] and got the following error:
> Shoo! My super powers tell me this link doesn't belong to sellers we support.
I thought Amazon was a supported retailer?

#20I built the price alerts on engadget.com, just add a product like the iPhone (http://www.engadget.com/products/apple/iphone/5s/) to your want list and you'll get an email when the price drops.
