I used to use pricewatch.com but it seems to be gone now. I also ran up |
| 26 |
on a site once that shows a graph of prices going back to when a product |

was first introduced. Since my brain has no elephant genes, I have no |
| 28 |
idea what the name of the site was nor can I find it now either. :-/ |
