The Red Ferret Journal

Price Fad. Track historical price data on any product for free. Why? Well maybe you’re in the market for a new MP3 player and want to know whether the price is stable or still plummeting. Should you wait or should you go? It’s an interesting concept, but I’m a little doubtful as to the depth of the database since the iPhone 8GB doesn’t seem to be featured. Ah well, maybe it’s early days. You can also register for alerts when a price drops, which definitely could be useful. Worth a look if you’re an avid net shopper.

 Give me a break. Why another shopping site?! We wanted to give you the best historical view before pulling the trigger – be that researching on a broad category, say 46in LCD TVs or a specific product, say: TomTom ONE XL GPS, or even to compare two alternative products, say Samsung 19in LCD vs. Viewsonic 19in LCD. The PriceFad allows you, the consumer, to see historical market direction and understand whether today’s deal is really a deal. If you are patient enough, you can also register for a price drop alert so you won’t be missing anything
