if memory serves camelcamelcamel gets their pricing data directly from amazon via a source they aren't allowed to disclose, and bloomberg has previously reported that amazon gives camel^3 the data they have; given that, i'm not too certain they're the cause of amazon's consistent reduction in transparency to consumers - a lot of it feels like cruft built into their marketplace allowing for bad actors to effectively play the marketplace
- arcticfox 4y agohaving personally built an internal tool that was much more aggressive than camelcamelcamel, I can say they're not doing anything special in terms of sources (or if they are, it's totally unnecessary)
- leo8 4y agoWas thinking about building such tool, but I couldn't come up with an idea where to source the data other than scraping it. Was looking especially for big price drops.
