hi all

I was following the Stanley combo drill:

The price was going down every few days, and suddenly jumped today from $184 to $359.

Same thing happened on the Stanley jigsaw.

Do you have any idea why?

Thanks

Looks like it follows that price cycle every few weeks

  Noob q, but how do you use that camelcamelcamel site

    get the link of the item, chuck it in the camel's search bar and it will show you price history/patterns of that item. I use keepa since it's more accurate and gives a daily price check of the item you want to track. It notifies you if the price drops etc.

They can't have 50% off sales without a 100% pricejack.

Amazon prices can rise and fall like a yoyo. They have tons of data based on consumer activities, competitors etc, (apparently if you get all their data into HDs and stack it up, it's as much as Mount kosciuszko). Their prices can change constantly
