Always get the best deals at Amazon with Ookong.com
The holidays are quickly approaching and you want to get everything on your list easily and at the lowest possible price. That’s where Ookong.com comes in. Pronounced [u:kuŋ] after the Monkey King in the classical Chinese novel, Journey to the West, Ookong is an innovative solution for online shoppers. But how exactly can Monkey King help you get the best deals on your holiday shopping?
Suppose you want to get a Garmin GPS for Uncle Robert, who can never find his way around. You find it on Amazon for $140.00. But Aunt Roberta said that she saw one for $130.00 a week earlier. How can you be sure that you’re getting the lowest price? Just search “Garmin GPS” on Ookong.com or click http://ookong.com/item/search?q=garmin+gps
Ookong.com gives you the ability to track price histories on any product. The price history chart shows the item’s price over the last 30 days or so. This feature conveniently shows whether the price is rising, dropping, or holding steady.
If you want to buy right now, you can compare prices on similar products to make sure that you purchase the lowest priced item. You can use the search bar to find specific products or select a category to browse a variety of products from Apparel to Electronics to Wireless Accessories.
With the click of your mouse, you can follow an item (like following an interesting person on twitter) to get email notifications when the price drops. Then from your own personal Ookong page, you can see a list of all items that you are following complete with a price history chart. On your settings page, you can adjust your notifications by the percentage the price drops or by the dollar amount it falls.
The Monkey King also conveniently lists similar items that you may want to check out based on items that you are following. Hover your mouse over the item, and the history chart appears along with a Follow button and a Buy It button.
Shopping at Amazon was already easier than going to the mall or going from super store to mega-super store. But I think that Ookong.com has miraculously improved shopping online at Amazon to where the best bargains basically find you!
