PricePinx Are you shopping around for a flat screen TV, a GPS navigator, a DVD player, or any other cool tech gadget? There are good deals out there but often even better deals can come up. A product may not be within your budget today but a coming 30% to 50% price reduction could make it a great deal. Products often go on sale, and now there’s a way to be notified right away.

TechConsumer already has a price drop tracker (see the widget in the top of the sidebar or check out the full list here) that tracks the biggest recent price drops on Amazon. But what if you want to track price changes for a specific product or retailer?

A new service called Price!pinx (www.pricepinx.com) helps you track great deals by product and/or retailer. It allows shoppers to request price drop alerts for any product on almost any retailer’s website. The free service smoothly integrates into your online shopping experience by using a smart bookmark: on the retailer’s website you click the smart bookmark which automatically records the product information and the price for you. Price!pinx then monitors the price and notifies you about price drops as they happen.

So whether you are planning to buy a product or already bought a product, you can now receive price drop alerts via email. Also, after purchasing a product, shoppers often leave money on the table by not being aware of price guarantees or price match guarantees offered by many retailers. Let’s say a retailer has a 30-day post-order price guarantee. So if you buy a product from this retailer and within 30 days of your purchase the price drops, you can claim a refund. Price!pinx has conveniently summarized the price guarantee policies of major retailers along with a link to their actual policy.

You can setup your price drop alerts here for your recent and future purchases.
