Hey! I cannot believe that I did not know about this! You rock! Thanks for posting this information. I was able to use this for my eBay experiment! Everything worked perfectly with Amazon, and I received a response from them in less than 2 HOURS! Yay.
I even did a blog post about this…

Does Amazon.com Owe You Money?

Most Amazon.com customers don’t know it (I had no idea!), but if they buy an item and then the price drops within 30 days, they can ask Amazon to refund the difference. So any time you make purchase at Amazon, it’s a good idea to create a reminder fo…

Previous post, I had an incorrect link. I have a similar but more generic website that also tracks Amazon prices. It sends out a single email when the price drops. It will only send out one email per day per person. The email will contain all the new lower prices. It is a very useful service that is free. Price Watching Service

i once pre-ordered a book and my credit card was charged before the book had even been published so a couple of months later when it finally shipped, the price had already dropped… i just dropped customer services a note and they refunded the difference….
on another note… i just checked out the prices of items i’ve purchased over 05 and all the prices have gone up… cynical me is thinking, the amazon xmas sale isn’t actually a sale?!!

I would think that this would be an up front thing, kinda like circuit city, best buy or fry’s sales deals. Talk about buy now and feel good about. I know if it will be on sale next week I still will get a god deal.
