You may have heard years ago that someone came out with a website that monitored The Airlines and their pricing as it varied over years. Using that info the site would predict what time of the year was a good time to buy airline tickets and would recommend either you "Wait" or "Buy Now". The website was called FARECAST.com. It is still around but Microsoft purchased it and tweeked it to their liking. I do not know if it is still trustworthy or not.
Now there is a new website out following in FARECAST's footsteps when it comes to online merchandise. WWW.SHOPOBOT.COM . Shopobot monitors pricing trends on the internet for merchandise and with the help of some nifty algorithms it will predict high or low prices for specific dates and will recommend either you "Wait" or "Buy Now".
Too bad they don't have something like this for groceries! That would make our lives so much easier with this couponing thing. ;-)
