New Amazon Price Monitor. Track when the price is right. Zeezaw

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]What is this all about?[/title]

Amazon varies the price of goods, yet often when the price is low, the goods sell out at speed. There's a new free tool that tells you when Amazon reduces the price of your goods, so you buy at the perfect moment.

Simply tell Zeezaw the max price you want to pay for any Amazon item, and e-mails you when the price drops to that amount. The site does not collect any of your details or passwords, it just works through your Amazon Wishlist.

UPDATE 21 Oct 09

Zeezaw is struggling due to high levels of traffic at the moment. If you have problems, come back and try again later.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] How it works
[/title]

• Step 1. Create an Amazon wishlist. To get a wishlist, just go shopping on Amazon, and when you fancy something, click the ‘add to wishlist’ button (left hand side). Not too arduous a task!
• Step 2. Sign up for Zeezaw. Now just sign up for a Zeezaw account, and tell it the email address you use for Amazon. Add a target price for everything, and wait for the email alerts. [/FONT]

• Step 3. Check comparison sites. When you get an alert, it's still worth checking the price on a comparison site, as where Amazon prices go others tend to follow. Read Cheap online shopping for a full guide.

Zeezaw also lets you track other folks’ wishlists; just ask them what email they use for Amazon, and it’ll locate the list a good way to work out what gifts they may want for Christmas.

Can strangers buy your wishlist for you?

Sounds great in theory, shame it can't find my wish list at all!

ETA: Its not nessisarily the email address you log in with, but the one you set up the wish list to. Its found me now!

Do Amazon still do the 30 day price guarantee that priceprotectr covers?

Have used it before, great idea.

Perhaps it's already mentioned on these boards?

If it is, sorry; if not it should be…

Looks like it might have crashed due to the traffic

Think I'd just prefer to use a shopping comparison site and buy it at the price I want then and there rather than wait (and hope) that it will come down.

But each to their own !

Surely if you just pu the items in your basket & save for later, you can log on, press Basket and it will tell you of any price changes.

I also use find-DVD, find-CD, find-book etc and they send me an e-mail when an item is below my pricewatch price - the difference being they check a multitude of stores including Amazon.

Amazon sometimes do crazy offers, so I do find this is likely to get things cheaper than a comparision site, and I have over 1000 items on my wishlist so can't keep them all in my basket - used to do this with a few but I think this new service is fab. Going to take me forever to go through the whole wishlist though!

There are a few sites which list the big discounts at Amazon as they appear - for example, Discount Sorcerer has a whole bunch of stuff currently on offer at less than 10% of their original price. That site does an email newsletter too which features the best offers, if you're quick enough.

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone can tell me...

... does it include a check on the "Used and New" section with the Marketplace sellers?
