Monitoring Prices at buy.com

Buy.com is one of my favorite online stores for four reasons: cheap prices, wide availability of products, fast shipping (they must have a warehouse in South Bend... I get things usually next day despite selecting the slow shipping option), and they participate in Upromise.

One cool feature I like: they have their product info available via RSS feeds. Want to know when prices drop on iPod accessories? Subscribe to their iPod RSS feed. New products, price changes, etc all make it to the feed. Just by having it in my newsreader I've noticed that they drop prices a buck or two quite a bit (although they do not get new products as often as I thought they would, which is the original reason I subscribed).
