By dropping the link in CamelCamelCamel, it shows you that even though it’s $15 today, it was available for $8.79 2-months ago and $9.89 1-month ago. With this insight, you can predict upcoming discounts, and even reach out to the brand directly and ask them when you can obtain the product for that fair price again. They’ll almost always work with you.
