AmazonWatcher looks for Amazon deals

by Mat Lu Aug 6th 2008 at 10:00AM

AmazonWatcher is a simple application that, well, watches Amazon. After putting in the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) for whatever you want to watch, the application can be set to alert you whenever the item is in stock (if you're still waiting for a Wii, for instance) or when the item drops below a certain price. In addition to sounding an alert AmazonWatcher can send you an email or even automatically order an item if you have Amazon's 1-Click active for your account.

AmazonWatcher is a free download for Mac (or PC). The website does not indicate whether or not this application makes use of Amazon's affiliate program when ordering.

There are other websites out there that will watch prices for you as well. I use this one. It will not order items for you, just monitor the price you paid and send you an email if the price drops.

I have this app, but apparently it hasn't been doing it's job for a week or so...here's their website http://awatcher.net/. Too bad, this was really helpful.

I buy a lot of CDs from Amazon. Prices can fluctuate greatly, and I constantly monitor them to find the best deal. This app will be a big help.

Well, it would be *incredibly* stupid on the developer's part *not* to use affiliate links.

You get your product, they get a commission. So what?

ASIN could also stand for Amazon stock inventory number, which I think it does

either way cool idea for the avid amazonian

This is going to be handy to monitor the price of something you have already bought because I think Amazon have a web form where you can get a refund of the difference if the price drops after a few weeks of you purchasing.
