I had that exact same thought quite a while ago and have built my startup around it:
http://www.happybuy.com/ http://www.happybuy.com/
This was launched approx 8 weeks ago.
We currently track & graph pricing across Amazon, iTunes and the Apple App Store and have plans to add additional stores in the future.
Would be great to hear what you think or any feedback you may have.
- mikeknoop 16y agoNice! My immediate feedback is this: Your "What does this do?" text, "We save you money by tracking prices on millions of products and recommending when is the best time to buy" is quite small. I would try to emphasize that point more on the homepage. Naturally the functionality it quite limited right now because you've only got pricing data going back a month or so (at least on the few products I search for). I think this is something that becomes more useful the more data you build up (1+ years). I was going to comment about including mini-pricing-graphs on the home page but then I realized you already have them. They were not obvious enough to me when I first (and second) glanced that they were graphs. I thought they were just buttons. Maybe fuss with the design on those for something that is more apparently a trend line. Finally, after you get some good solid data you should consider adding an API for real-time stats or a way to buy historical pricing data.
- happybuy 16y agoThanks - I agree with those comments; especially re the "What does this do?" text. We realise the graphs for the example products are below the fold on the homepage and are looking to do a mini-redesign to bring them higher.
