The next November 25 the long awaited will be celebrated Black Friday: the annual recurrence, now pinned on calendars all over the world, where you can make convenient purchases by taking advantage of limited offers for the whole day and, in some cases, even a few days in advance. In fact, every year there are many physical and online stores that cut prices on products in the catalog: but the discount percentages we read during promotional events, such as Prime Day or Black Friday, they are actually that high? Yes, or maybe not. In many cases, in fact, the percentage shown is based on the normal list price which, in several cases, is always higher than the usual selling price.
In this case, to give us a definitive answer, some tools available on the internet come to the rescue that allow us to clarify about it and are the price tracker: CamelCamelCamelfor example, it is one of the best known and most used.
How to use
Free and available in Italian, CamelCamelCamel is able to follow the price trend of items sold on Amazon and helps us understand if the current selling price is actually more or less convenient compared to the past, also indicating the maximum and minimum value reached.
Easy and intuitive, to view the price trend of a particular item you need to follow three simple steps: connect to the tracker site, type the name of the product in the field that appears at the top and, after identifying it in the list proposed below, click on the title. In a few moments we will be shown the chart with price fluctuations recorded with a range of dates – depending on the product – varying between a month and a year. The same result can also be obtained by copying the exact url of the item on Amazon and pasting it into the tracker’s search field.
Although it is especially useful for those who make purchases on Amazon, for some products the tool is also able to show the average price applied by third-party sellers: an extra support if we want to make a more accurate comparison.
So you want to know if that cosmetic bag or washing machine is on sale it really is cheaper than usual? There is nothing left to do but try this tool. Another valid alternative, however, is called Keepa and is also available as an app for iOS and Android.
