Amazon / CowBoom / eBay / GameFly / GameStop / Microsoft Store / NewEgg / Walmart Price Watcher

Version 2.0 of my price watcher for Amazon, CowBoom, eBay, GameFly, GameStop, Microsoft Store, NewEgg, Walmart and any other site if you’re good with regular expressions.  I mark these new updates as version 2.0 because the system use to just look for HTML snippets and inform you if they showed up or disappeared.   I currently have watches for “Notify Me When Available” to see if store.sony.com will inform me as soon as they carry the PS4 on their website again.  I also have a few searches looking for cheap items over at CowBoom going to notify me when one of their systems shows up cheap.  Currently my system is invite only but just fill out my contact form if you’re interested in checking it out.

Also, if you’re not good with regular expressions and would like for me to come  up with a regex for a website I’ll add it into the system.  My next version of this system will use a hybrid of my current system using DomDocument to grab pricing data.  I have a few ideas that I think would make the system a bit faster at parsing through the pricing plus I’d like to make the system smarter calculating in shipping costs if applicable.
