Track Camera Gear Prices Over Time with Shopobot shopobot

Shopobot is a new shopping tool that helps buyers determine the best price to buy products from various retailers by tracking their price changes across time. Retailers often change the prices of different items often to determine the best price point, which can cause frustration for people who buy a product only to find it $50 cheaper the next day. If you’re looking to buy a camera, lens, or any other piece of gear, you might benefit from doing a quick search on Shopobot to find the price history of that item.

    Sounds good but then you have to sign up.  I feel like I have to give away my email address  everywhere these days.  Aren’t there already some sites like this anyways?

    Hi Doug — I’m the founder of Shopobot.  The reason we ask for an account is because we see the service as a webapp — where you can follow the cameras your interested in and see when it’s a good time to purchase.  If you don’t want us to email you it’s very easy to make that happen.  In any case, if you have any questions or comments, drop me a line at juliuss@shopobot.com — take care!
