Improved alerts for Amazon.com Electronics

When you are on Amazon.com, you may notice some items, in particular for Electronics, have a "Click here to see the price" link. For example, see this Samsung TV. Seemingly, they are prevented by Manufacturer agreements from displaying or advertising the price when it's below a certain amount. This, of course, is a bit annoying for customers, but it's not Amazon's fault.

This has presented a problem for us too. Amazon, in the data feed they supply us with, do not list the price for these items. Kind of difficult to do price alerts etc. when we aren't given the price. In our search results too, we were not displaying the new price of these items.

Fortunately, we've just solved this problem. For search results, you will now see a "Select item to view price" for the new price. Selecting the item will display its price. You can always deselect it if you don't want to set up an alert or buy it right now. For example, see this list of the current best selling TVs.

When we check prices for Price and Price Guarantee alerts, we now also obtain the current price for these "hidden price" products. So, you can be assured that we will now find out about price drops for all Electronic items on Amazon.com. Happy Saving!
