True. Come to think of it, I haven't participated in an auction for over 5 years.

The thing I do like about ebay is they don't have the increasingly annoying dynamic pricing bullshit that Amazon is pulling.

i.e. you see a price on Amazon that's great, by the time you've spoken to your better-half and gotten back to the computer... the price has gone up!

Back to ebay though, I actually sold my car on ebay about 10 years ago... there's no way I'd attempt it these days!

Try https://camelcamelcamel.com. It shows you the price history of Amazon items and can alert you when they fall.

not just amazon. here's a piece on using 3 people's different devices and price difference they get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZVpbwz6kPk

as for amazon price changes, i use the honey plugin, can see the past 120 day price history. surprised by how much it can fluctuate.
