Amazon is a great way to get the items you need at the best prices; however, when an item is over your budget, you may not have the time or inclination to wait for the price to fall. This is where ShadowBid can help; it will automatically bid for you when the price is right.

Monitors Fluctuating Prices

ShadowBid is a file extension for Google Chrome; once installed, it will be added to the toolbar. It will become 'live' when users are on a compatible site such as Amazon, and it enables the user the view the price, description and location of items on sale. Users can use the widget to "watch" items and set it to buy the item at a price of their choosing. The file won't bid unless the item drops below the budgeted price, so users can buy items at bargain prices. The file includes readouts of the highest and lowest prices for each item, as well as a graph showing price fluctuations over time.

Money-Saving app

ShadowBid is ideal for high-volume buyers on Amazon; it is particularly useful for those who are buying to sell at a profit. Used often, this widget could save Amazon users a great deal of cash. The only issue is that it is only compatible with Amazon at this time.
