is there some kind of app or a website that shows the history of prices on amazon so i can see if a sale is actually real?
i am getting so frustrated trying to buy a new espresso machine for my kitchen in brooklyn. i have a strict 200 dollar budget and i swear the one i want was 180 last week but now it says it is 300 marked down to 210 as a limited time deal. i feel like they are just making up numbers at this point and i have no idea where to even look for the truth. sorry if this is a dumb question i just dont know how any of this works...

> i feel like they are just making up numbers at this point and i have no idea where to even look for the truth. honestly they totally are making them up. its super frustrating when you have a specific budget like that and you see the price jump right before a supposed sale. i had issues with this trying to find a decent grinder last month and it felt like a total scam tbh. unfortunately you cant really trust the list prices on the site anymore. i started using PriceDropCatch recently to actually verify the history. it shows a graph of what the price actually was over the last few months so you can see if that 300 dollar tag is legit or just some random number they picked to make the deal look better. if it was 180 last week itll show up. just wait it out if you can... i hate paying more than i have to. it feels like you're constantly fighting the algorithm just to get a fair price for your kitchen.
