> Does Keepa actually show those super short lightning deals on Amazon.de accurately or does it skip over them since they end so fast? Building on the earlier suggestion, the technical reality of how Keepa pings the Amazon.de servers means it definitely misses things sometimes. Basically, the tracker doesnt have a constant live feed of every second of price data. It checks prices at intervals that can range from every few minutes to every several hours depending on how popular the item is. If a lightning deal for that air fryer sells out in ten minutes but Keepa only checks every twenty, it wont show up on your chart at all. I ran into this exact issue when I was setting up my current kitchen. I was hunting for a specific blender and kept seeing these price drops that I could never actually catch in time. What I learned over the years is that relying on the red dots for lightning deals is a bit of a gamble because of that lag. Instead of just waiting for lightning deals, I started looking at the price history of the Amazon Resale items (what used to be Warehouse). Those are often more reliable than hoping for a flash sale that might only last a heartbeat. For a 150 euro budget, those open-box deals are honestly a better bet. If you really want to be methodical, just set a very aggressive price threshold alert. It pings your phone way faster than the graph actually updates... usually gives you a fighting chance anyway.

Keepa tracks them as red dots, but be careful because it sometimes misses the fastest ones. I suggest setting up price alerts so you dont rely solely on those messy charts.
