For the last couple of days I've been following SSD prices on Ebuyer ready for today, payday. Wednesday, 128 Gb £48, Thursday £57, today advertised at £64 - cleared my cookies and went via topcashback (woohoo 1.51%) I got it for £53. They know what you look at and push the price up.

I've a nice little add-on for FF/Amazon called Camelizer, it doesn't work for all products but still for quite a lot. It tracks the price of new from Amazon, new 3rd party, and used 3rd party. For instance, this morning I bought (via Subsim ) a pci to sata card, cost £5.85. I thought that was a real bargain when I'd seen many others starting at three times that price, then I discovered that it was only £2 last December, but £7.49 only a month or so ago.



Grey line is just where I cut out a few months of no change in price.

If any UK-ers out there want to get cash back please use my referal http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/herrb to earn me some extra pennies.
