Apps and sites like RFD for price tracking and ALERTS

Are there any apps or sites that provide price tracking and deal alerts that compliment RFD?

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

The fact that RFD censors came(l)came(l)came(l) shows you where their motivations lie.

I think it's just because camelx3 would get the referral link instead of RFD. There's no doubt that RFD corp is in it for profit. It's not a charity.

I don’t think RFD will like their competition being linked in their own forum. Topics like this are best asked in Reddit or twitter (or whatever social media platform you prefer) since you would both get unbiased and unfiltered opinion.

3Cs isn't even competition. There's a couple deals at the bottom, but I wouldn't really count that compared to RFD being a site dedicated to actual deals.

@engineered is probably right where they would get the referral over RFD.
Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.

Referral links are one of the primary ways that RFD generates the money needed to keep the site running and keep it free for all users.

Camel is nice but it’s just Amazon products, which aren’t as competitively priced as they used to be.

Has anyone tried something that is more universal to all other retailers? Something that also includes price/deal alert functionality?

Absolutely true. But it should survive or fail on its own merits rather than rely on censoring what they deem to be competitive sites like the three camels and that other deals site that's targeted to smart people ;)
