I have been looking at these specific vintage Canon FD lenses for a photography project I am starting in about three weeks, but man, the prices on eBay are all over the place. I am based in a small town in Ohio so I mostly have to rely on shipping which is getting crazy expensive lately. I am trying to keep my whole setup under $150 if possible. I have tried just adding things to my watch list but the eBay notifications are so unreliable. Like, I will get a push notification that a seller sent an offer or dropped the price like four hours after it happened and by then the item is already gone. It is super frustrating.

I did some digging and found stuff like CamelCamelCamel but obviously that is just for Amazon. I also saw people talking about CheckAFlip but that seems like it is just for looking at what things sold for in the past, not for live tracking of current listings. Then there was this site called FatFingers but that is just for finding typos in listings... not really what I need. I also heard people mention WatchCount but when I went there it seemed more like it was showing what is popular rather than letting me track a specific item I want. Some people say to just use the Save Search feature but that just floods my inbox with new listings instead of telling me when the one I actually want gets cheaper.

I am just looking for something simple and free that will actually alert me the second a price drops on a specific listing I am interested in. Is there a browser extension or maybe a third party site that actually works for this? I dont want to sign up for some paid service because that kind of defeats the purpose of trying to save money on the gear in the first place lol. Do any of you use a specific tool that actually pings you fast enough to beat other buyers? I just need something that works better than the default eBay app alerts...
