Incorrect Price

[Unregistered]

First off, great site, I appreciate the work that went into this.

There is currently an incorrect 3rd party price for some speakers I am tracking. It set off an alert for me, but the speakers are about $100 more than camelcamelcamel says they are.

Thanks!

When did you get the alert? The 3rd Party New Price looks correct to me.

It has had this price ever since I entered it into my product list.

camelcamelcamel tells me the 3rd party price is $368.49 (and that that was also the original price).

The cheapest Amazon seller is currently (and has been for a while) $459.88.

Are you seeing different price information?

Here is what I see: http://stashbox.org/313878/camel.png

It lists the *lowest price ever* as being $368.49. The current price is listed as $459.88, which appears correct at this time.

Where are you seeing the incorrect information?

I see it when I click on "Your Products," which is the only page I've really been checking because it has everything in one place.

Maybe I just don't understand the site setup yet (I just started using it). On "Your Products" does it "freeze" when it drops below your price? Do I need to cancel that tracking and start a fresh one?

Also, just a note, but when I added that item, it was at its current price (the $459) but this site told me the $369 price and sent me the message right away. Maybe that was just a delay before this site checked back in with Amazon?

I immediately went to Amazon thinking the price had just dropped, but maybe it still had old data in the system.

But back to the main question, once something drops below my target price... does the pricing info stop getting adjusted on the "Your Products" page? If so, that is fine, I'll just need to end the tracking and start a fresh one for the same price and everything should be fine.

Thanks for the quick comments so far, by the way.

Here is how that page works (example from my list (http://stashbox.org/313979/tracked-product.png)). After the product image, title, and other meta data, you have 3 prices. Original Price is the price at the time you started tracking the product. Current Price is how much the product costs *now*. And Desired Price is the price that triggers alerts when the Current Price drops below its threshhold.

Original Price and Desired Price shouldn't change unless you update your tracking information. Current Price will change whenever the product information changes. Pricing information should not be "frozen" after your Desired Price is met, nor should you cancel the tracking and/or track the product again.

It'd help if you could post a screenshot of the product in your Tracked Products list so I can see exactly what is happening.

Ok, I do understand all of that. My current price is stuck on the low price low. Here is an image I just snapped a minute ago, but it has looked like this since I first started tracking it:

Since we appear to be on the same page regarding the tracked products page, it looks like you've found a bug!

I am working on it right now...hope to have a fix for you soon.

Thanks for reporting this bug!

No problem at all! Glad I could help. Everything else seems to be tracking fine, and I'm loving the site. Keep up the good work!

It's pretty great that you are so active and fixing/updating on the fly like this. I know I appreciate it and plan on using this site for a while.

Take it easy,

Take a look now, it should show the correct information. Please let me know if this happens again.

I hope I can keep improving it for you and the other loyal users =)
