Have any of you ever tracked the price of something on Amazon, in the hope that it will drop to a level where you would be prepared to buy it?
I started doing this on an exercise bike, just after Christmas. I have been absolutely amazed to find that the price of the item changes every few days, sometimes twice in one day! Occasionally, the change has been several pounds, but most of the changes were only by a few pence. In the last six days alone, there have been five price changes.
What's that all about?

Versavisa - me too 
Well that's interesting but I've never tracked Amazon.
However, we are off on holiday soon to Florida, and we booked a hotel at say £800 for a week on one of the price comparison sites, and I had barely pressed "pay" when husband who was on his computer, said "Guess what, I've just found the same resort for £610 from a different site" (not on the price comparison list!). So irritating! 
Luckily the site I had booked with we could cancel at no charge. So we did, booked the cheaper price, only to have the bank phone husband to check what was going on because all this happened in the space of half an hour. It is ridiculous though, and enough to drive a person round the bend.
