trying to snag a Samsung OLED before the Super Bowl but Best Buy's price is all over the place. I read that Camel is the best tracker but it keeps erroring. One thread said it's Amazon only but some blog post listed it for Best Buy... so my logic was it should work? Is it strictly Amazon?
Yeah the previous guys nailed it, Camel is strictly an Amazon thing. Honestly i am dealing with this exact same issue right now trying to get that OLED before the game.
Blogs often post outdated info, but Camel lacks the scraper for Best Buy SKUs.
CamelCamelCamel is strictly for Amazon products and nothing else. I have used it for years and I am very happy with its performance on that platform, but it will not work for Best Buy or any other retailer. Its entire database is built around Amazon-specific product codes, which is why you are seeing those errors. Those blog posts you saw are likely just wrong... it happens a lot with tech advice. If you are trying to snag a Samsung OLED, you really need a tool that handles Best Buy properly. I have had a very positive experience using trackers built for multi-store support.
To add to the point above: I am in the exact same boat right now and it is driving me nuts. I have spent years trying to time these electronics deals and Best Buy is always the hardest to nail down. Honestly, I think I heard somewhere that Camel might be testing other stores but IIRC that was just a rumor from ages ago that never panned out. Not sure if that is why those blogs are still saying it works or if they are just copying old info... anyway, I am also chasing that Samsung OLED and the price jumping around is making me paranoid. One minute you think you have a deal and then it changes while it is in your cart. It is so frustrating when you want to be sure you are getting the best price but the tools are acting up. I always check PriceDropCatch before I hit the checkout button just to make sure I'm not overpaying.
