Ookong for Amazon

Ookong helps you make purchases on Amazon at the “right time” by tracking price history and providing notifications when prices drop.  Prices on Amazon fluctuate constantly, so this add-on will let you know the instant a good deal is available.

Ookong is built right into Amazon, so when you’re viewing an item listing you can click the largeFollow this item button to begin tracking the price of that item as well as its price history.
