Camelcamelcamel and Best Buy: what it tracks and what to use instead

camelcamelcamel's extension lists only Amazon stores. To watch a Best Buy product page for a price drop or a restock, AyeWatch is the pick.

camelcamelcamel does not cover Best Buy today: its Camelizer extension lists only Amazon stores, and camelbuy.com now forwards to camelcamelcamel.com. If you want a camelcamelcamel-style alert on a Best Buy item, paste the product page into AyeWatch and write the price or stock rule you care about; Google's Track price is a backup when the product appears in Google's results.

What camelcamelcamel covers

The camelcamelcamel extension, The Camelizer, describes itself on the Chrome Web Store as a way to see historical pricing data and set watches that email you when a price drops. The stores it names are Amazon in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. Best Buy is not on the list.

Two related addresses, camelbuy.com and camelegg.com, both answer with a redirect to camelcamelcamel.com as of November 2026. So searching for a Best Buy version of Camel leads back to the Amazon tracker.

Your options for a Best Buy item

How to watch a Best Buy page with AyeWatch

AyeWatch's own Best Buy guide describes the job plainly: it reads the product page you paste and tells you when the availability copy changes, for example from sold out to Add to Cart. The same monitor can watch the price. The steps:

  1. Open the exact listing. Pick the model, color and storage size first, then copy the URL. A search results page shifts with ads and accessories and will create noise.
  2. Paste it into a webpage monitor.
  3. Write one sentence. For example, "alert me if this laptop drops under $900 or the 16GB model is back in stock, and ignore bundle listings".
  4. Choose where it goes. Push is on every plan. On a paid plan, from $9 a month as of November 2026, you can send it to a shared Slack or Discord channel.
  5. Buy it yourself. AyeWatch is not a checkout bot. Have your account and payment ready so you can act on the alert.

Why this matters if you buy for a team

If you buy hardware for a team, you may watch the same laptop or dock for weeks. A monitor that posts to the channel where purchasing already happens saves someone from refreshing a product page, and the short summary says what changed without anyone opening a chart.

AyeWatch's guide is open about its limits. It cannot see stock held in a store that never reaches the website, and it will not beat bots that check far faster than a person would. It is for public product pages, and nothing more.

The other routes

  • Google Track price. Signed in to Google in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan or India, tap Track price on the product in search, set a target, and get a push and an email when it falls below. It only works for products Google can match.
  • Honey Droplist. Honey emails you when a saved item drops by the percentage you chose, but only at participating stores. Check for the Honey button on the Best Buy page before relying on it.

When camelcamelcamel still helps

If the same item is also sold on Amazon, keep a Camel watch to see whether the Amazon price history makes the Best Buy deal look good or ordinary. For the Best Buy page itself, use AyeWatch.
