Okay, this price tracker site seems more legit. From what I can tell, it's free, but sign up is required.

They price check thousands of products on Amazon.

Amazon price tracker, Amazon price history charts, price watches, and price drop alerts. | camelcamelcamel.com

I've heard of camelcamelcamel.com several times on Amazon.com comments, so I believe that they are legit.

Camelcamelcamel forced my hand to purchase my 30" Dell monitor, Onkyo TX-NR809 AVR, ShopFox cabinet saw, DeWalt 13" planer, lots of Xbox Live Gold memberships and Live Points, my 2nd Xbox 360, and probably many other things that I can't think of.

It is freaking awesome and horrible for my wallet at the same time.

There's that one and "the traktor" I believe it's called. Basically the same thing. They send alerts when a price hits one you pre-set and shows you a history chart and so on and so forth.

Took a free air measurement of the new sub then thought something awful was going to happen so I quickly shut everything down.

Sounds like I better stay away from it.

Did you think that someone would find out that you weren't paying for their air?

Pretty much. I watched "The Lorax" the other day, the new one, so I'm pretty paranoid about not paying for air right now.

On an unrelated note. I was curious as to what the inside of my own power unit looked like, but am too lazy to actually open it so I just googled it instead.

Apparently it looks something like this:

I see a battery, a big torroid and a bunch of other "stuff"

Thanks guys, so which one of you was it asking me what I was wearing while flipping pancakes really fast in the background and breathing heavy at 2 am last night?

Sorry about that. I was breathing heavy because I'd been running. I got nervous when I thought one of your neighbors heard me making my way through their yard.

Bottoms up!

Hey, got any pastry to with that?

 

[haraldo]

It's coffee made in Greek style... so it gets lots of foam, and then cream-milk (fat fat milk)
With Ukrainian pastries and chocolate.... mmmmmmmmmmmmm

My wife is absolute master on this

Steve

For sure it is Steve....
It's just lots of foam and creamed milk

Enjoy.....
I love boats, especially if there's a sail

Too fancy for me. I'll take cheap coffee with powdered creamer and Splenda x2 in a styrofoam cup

Why why why would you set me up like this?
Sarcasm overload in process.

then you're not having coffee, but just the smell of coffee
