ExpressBasics: How to track product price history during Amazon sales

Amazon’s Great Indian Festival sale is set to happen later this month and a number of people may be gearing up to purchase clothing, accessories, gadgets, appliances and other products during the sale. However, sale pricing can be really tricky these days, as a number of products are sometimes displayed with fake deals.

These often include a crossed-out high pricing followed by a lower current pricing that coaxes users into buying stuff in a sense of urgency. For instance, you may see particular phone priced at Rs 30,000 while the non-sale price of Rs 45,000 is scratched off, making you believe you’ll save Rs 15,000 if you buy the phone immediately.
