Looking for a Specific Amazon Data Mining Website
A year ago or so I was using a website that helped me find the best deals on Amazon. I have tried Google, Wikipedia, and for the life of me cannot remember the name or find it.
Here is what it would do : It would sort out the price changes by percentage on Amazon and list them daily, telling you what percentage difference it was from the previous price or normal price on Amazon.
This site seemed to be better than any other site and it would always refresh and sort by the biggest change in percentage on Amazon.
I specifically used this to find DVD deals, especially during Black Friday but I changed computers, lost the bookmark, and cannot for the life of me remember it.
I humbly submit to you fellow bargain hunters.

Lesson to us all, backup our bookmarks.
This probably isn't it, but every Amazon shopper should be using www.camelcamelcamel.com

Re: Looking for a Specific Amazon Data Mining Website
Thanks for the website Trevor. That is somewhat close to what I was looking for and should do for now until this mystery is unraveled.
I am kicking myself for not backing up the bookmarks. Such a simple thing to do....
The ironic part is that DVDTalk is where I know I first found the website I was using.

Here are a couple good ones for blu-rays. I'm sure there are several similar sites.

Re: Looking for a Specific Amazon Data Mining Website
The website that Trevor gave above camelcamelcamel is the closest to what I am looking for since it showed all the price changes on Amazon, not just DVDs or Blu-Rays specifically. The only thing I know is that it was the most useful website I had on Black Friday to keep track of what Amazon was matching with other competitors on an hourly basis.

Re: Looking for a Specific Amazon Data Mining Website
No. One of the problems I am running into is that I am finding a lot of sites like these, but they require you to enter data in for specific items. The website I used simply monitored all Amazon prices and updated daily when there were huge percentage price drops on the site itself. It did this for all items.
