    Default Question about TRADE/OMNI Price Tracking

    Does anyone know how to trace prices via websites? Meaning set up a function, either through CBR or through another portal to track the listed price on trades?

    Case in point go here : http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Back-t...Blu-ray/28800/

    When you HOVER OVER LIST PRICE, you see a graph of prices for my randomly chosen BTTF Trilogy, tracked over the past few years.

    How can we do that with our comic book pursuits?

    I am not tech savy. I hate how much price changes before and after purchase and was wondering if there was a way, or anyone with the know how, we could track this info so we don't burn our funds?

    Create an account on isbns.net and make a wishlist of all the trades you want. You can set up price alerts whenever a book is posted on a site at or below that price. Just check there and eBay on a regular basis, and you should be set!

    camelcamelcamel tracks prices on amazon, I use it for price alerts on blu-rays but it also provides historical prices on a graph and tracks third party seller prices too.

    Thank you for the great site! It is fantastic for some harder to find graphic novels! Hell, it's hard to find the isbn on some of them even! I was just thinking I wish that isbn search would include comic shops across the net. I know that's practically impossible to do but it's a hell of an idea. I wish it did because we all know there are some gems out there for decent prices not from jerks just trying to make a quick buck. Thanks again man!

    If you don't know if the isbn, search the title on OpenISBN.com. It's a good way to find the original retail price so you know if someone is trying to rip you off.
