What's Shakin'?

The Lobster Incident

Yesterday, I saw an article online about the falling price of lobster.

Knowing how my wife enjoys lobster but dreads lobster prices, I mentioned it to her. Off she went to the nearby fresh seafood store.

Skeptical as always, I decided to call some fresh seafood places. They told me the price was anywhere from $8.99 a pound to $9.99 a pound, low for lobster, but not as low as I thought. When she got to the neighborhood store, one of the stores I had called, she bought lobster for a mere $5 a pound.

The guy on the phone had given me the wrong price.

Now why would he do that? May have been a simple mistake. Or he may have been trying to keep competitors from knowing his price. (Maybe I sound suspicious on the phone?)

With Price Protectr, you don't have to worry about running to the store to check the price.

Unless you're buying lobster, we can't help you there...yet.

Back-to-school

The deals today help those going back to school. Save all those notes and school memories. Everyone needs more memory, and this SanDisk memory card is a good deal. Best Buy has dropped the price on their 4GB SDHC memory card, usually used for phones, cameras, and laptops.

Charge My iPod

Lowlo has been known to rock out to some tunes while looking for prices, and has to keep the iPod charged on long nights looking at prices.

Amazon has an iPod charger for more than half off, so click now. Have a fully charged iPod for those late nights studying. Here you go: Kensington iPod charger.

Fuschia subwoofer

Even better sound for your iPod. Just goes to show that fuschia can put out some bass for your face. Sears dropped the price on this JBL satellite speaker system to make your computer put out some booming sound. It's over 70% off. Sweet deal.

I got some of these deals from Price Drop of the Day summary e-mail. See these and a few more deals by getting an account here. Once you sign up, you can ask to get the PDOTD sent once a day, first thing in the morning. The camera I was watching for myself.

Many who have bought through Amazon have used Amazon's Post-Order Price Guarantee. The guarantee allowed the user to get their money back on the difference of any Amazon price drop within 30 days of buying an item from Amazon.

Users bought with the confidence of getting the lowest Amazon price at the time of purchase and up to 30 days later, a confidence even more important in an economy where more and more people need ways to save money.

It has come to our attention that Amazon has ended their price protection guarantee. It appears that any items ordered as of today will no longer be eligible for price drop rebates at Amazon.

Price Protectr has always been a fan of Amazon (we're die-hard Amazon customers ourselves). Many thousands of Price Protectr user enjoy shopping there, and we lament the loss of this customer benefit.

In light of this development, Price Protectr has decided to accelerate the launch of a new service that will enable faithful Amazon customers to still enjoy the benefits of Amazon's great service while retaining the peace of mind that came from price protection.

Within 60 days, Price Protectr plans to offer price protection to Price Protectr users who shop at Amazon. Details will be announced, but here's the long and short of it: If you're a Price Protectr user who buys from Amazon through one of Price Protectr's services, you'll automatically receive a refund of some or all of the difference between the Amazon purchase price and the reduced Amazon price for a period of time after your purchase.Thanks, and long live Price Protection!
