Amazon.nl added to BargainWatch
Posted by Huw,
We have good news for those of you in the Netherlands: We have added Amazon.nl to our BargainWatch system. This means that:
- We'll gather prices of over 750 LEGO items three times a day and alert any bargains and significant price changes as news articles on the home page. If you're in the Netherlands and not logged in you should see them automatically. If you are logged in and want to see them make sure you have checked the box next to the Amazon.nl category on the news preferences page. Prices will be checked at about 07:10, 15:10 and 23:10 London time.
- Everything available there can be viewed on the Buy LEGO in the Netherlands page
- An additional column has been added to the European Amazon price comparison table allowing you to quickly ascertain which branch of the online store has the best price.
We are now gathering data from the UK, USA, Canadian, Australian, Spanish, Italian, German, French and Dutch branches of Amazon and will be looking at adding Poland and Singapore in due course.

tyty
Very much appreciated! Thank you from The Netherlands :-)
Neato. Not only for people in the Netherlands ;)
Thanks indeed.
You forgot Italy in the list above ;)
@Huw,
you say prices are checked at 07:10, 15:10 and 23:10 London time. Is that true for USA too? I always wondered when the prices were updated and how often.
Thanks
Oh Yes i’m waiting for poland!
How about adding Sweden?
^ Yes, that should be possible, we'll look into it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
For the record, this never works for me in the US. Prices listed here are not reflected in the Amazon link, and often the product linked isn't discounted, at all.

In my experience that's usually because Amazon is out of stock at the sale price. When you click the link it just shows you the next available seller, who is usually a scalper.

Amazon.com alerts are posted at 8:40, 12:40, 16:40 and 20:40, but only if there's a new deep discount.
Can we pay you a subscription to have anything Amazon removed? Amazon is evil.
Geweldig! (Dutch for awesome, but anyone younger than 25 will use ‘awesome’ as well).

Huw, is there any functionality of being allerted when a set has dropped to or below some threshold? (As in camelcamelcamel - does it even work with amazons other than US?)
Also, now Amazon is selling bundles, do you plan to include them here?
And finally, when Amazon makes the rare Pay2Get3 (3x2) is there any way we could be allerted?
Thank you!
Apparently amazon.nl doesn't ship to Portugal? That's a first.
