sorry if this is a dumb question but im trying to buy a used sony a6400 camera for a trip im taking in july and the prices on ebay are literally changing every single day it feels like? someone told me there are things called chrome extensions that can track the price for me but i have no idea where to start or how to even install one really. i just need something that:
is there one that everyone uses now in 2024? i dont want to get a virus or anything weird either...
Looking for a Sony a6400 is smart, those things hold their value but you can definitely find a deal if you time it right. eBay is chaotic because you have auctions and buy it now listings mixed together. For something simple that wont cost you anything, I usually suggest sticking to the Chrome Web Store since everything there gets scanned for malware anyway. I found PriceDropCatch recently and its pretty solid for tracking auction bids without staying glued to the screen. It basically lets you set a target price for the camera and sends you an alert when a listing hits that mark. It is free and doesnt require you to be a math genius to set up. You just install the extension, go to the listing, and click a button to start watching it. One quick tip tho... dont just track the Buy It Now prices. A lot of the real deals come from auctions that end at weird hours like 3 AM on a Tuesday. Some trackers let you see the history, but honestly, just setting a ping for when a new listing drops under your budget is the easiest way to go without getting overwhelmed. Just make sure you check the sellers rating before you jump on a low price so you dont get a brick in the mail or something weird.
