Frugal MTC shoppers who frequently buy through Amazon, I just found out about a really awesome Chrome extension called "Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker". It lists complete price history of every single item immediately under the product picture. So, you can keep track of trends and when things go on sale. It will also notify you of your desired price when you tell it to. It works on all of the major Amazon sites, including Europe and Asia.

Ahh, okay. I figured it would be something scammy like that since it has no details.

This is both a blessing and a curse.

Sounds like that same guy with the fake CL reviews from a few months ago .. the one with the ridiculously silly HIT right before - which he obviously used to gather worker IDs to solicit through messages. Did you recently do a HIT for him?

I don't remember. It just seems strange. I'm just going to delete it. Thanks

I haven't done anything in like, 2+ weeks so he must have been looking through old HITs. Maybe I did something for him in the past.
