ZingSale tracks the prices of things you want to buy, and notifies you via email when they are on sale. By default you will be notified when the price drops 10%, but you can change that. You can also use ZingSale to track prices of items you just bought as many stores offer a 30 day price drop guarantee.

While ZingSale does not mention this explicitly, they seem to get all their product descriptions and prices from Amazon. They are in beta right now, so I hope they plan to expand their price checks to other companies.

I tried ZingSale on the Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router. Amazon’s list price is $116.94, but if you “Click here to see the price” they show the real price as $65.99. ZingSale tells me the router costs $116.94, and then offers to notify me when the price hits $105.25. I manually overrode it and asked to be notified when the router hits $50, but I doubt that will ever happen since ZingSale can’t see the “Click here to see the price” prices. In my eyes, this is a major limitation.

ZingSale is free to use.
