Could you maybe shed some light why was Japan dropped from the supported country list?
Amazon's policies changed in both China and Japan. This cut us off from the product data in those countries.
I've always wondered how CCC interfaced with Amazon. Are they using bots to scrape the site? Are they just coasting along until Amazon tries to shut them down, or is there some kind of agreement in place?
Since they send traffic to Amazon from people who want to buy things, I don't think Amazon minds. And I don't think they care if they pay out to any one affiliate vs. another.
Thank you to everyone who uses our website. We are fortunate to have been able to run it for so long. Edit: Camel+YC fact: we pitched to YC early on, but weren't ready to give up our day jobs at the time. A few months later, we had left our jobs anyway. Not necessarily because the site was doing so well...
Fun fact: camelcamelcamel.com is specifically excluded from archive.org's Wayback Machine, not through any normal automated mechanism, but by fiat because the higher-ups at archive.org hold large amounts of Amazon stock.
Have a source for that?
Here's a site whose presence in the Wayback Machine has been hardcoded out of existence: http://web.archive.org/web/*/camelcamelcamel.com

Please consider adding other retailers. Often times, the better deal isn't on Amazon, and there tons of online retailers out there. Price checking historically on N platforms is a much more appealing value proposition.

Do you consider it a risk, that Amazon one day can decide to turn the tap off?

Thanks for doing this for the past twelve years! Although I've only been using it for the past twelve minutes. :)
Your 'about' page says: "The primary feature of our site is the sending of email alerts when prices change. The user simply sets a price threshold at which alerts are generated, and we email you when that condition is met."
Just to confirm, the "price threshold" mentioned will trigger a set alert when the price is at or below the threshold. Is that correct or will it only alert when the exact price is found?
Thanks again for your very useful site!
