We need better tools and ability to track this stuff. Pretty amazing we can have a super powered chatbot that can answer any question but I can’t find an excel sheet that tracks historical prices of goods in a meaningful way.

Also I bet it would be illegal to create that excel sheet in some way.

Not fully legal either though. We’ll see much more pressure to make it illegal in the next few years

I’ve been using Keepa for this for years in Firefox.

Not only is such a thing not illegal, I found half a dozen in 2 seconds on Google.

ChatGPT could be used a trojan horse to get webscrapping made illegal. Companies will fight tooth and nail if people had a good ability to see their price history. There are apps to do it. But it requires a lot of time and the data isn’t always reliable or not available

There are many such apps. Search for price trackers.

There is actually a browser extension that tracks prices. Damn I forgot which one it is.

In my opinion the best of this kind. you can browse amazon as usual and there is an extra window in if you scroll a little that shows the price history. No need to copie the link to another page to check the history.
