Ugh I keep missing these flash sales on the Sony A7IV and I really need to lock one down before my Japan trip in October. I was looking at CamelCamelCamel but it only tracks Amazon and prices there are sometimes way higher than B&H anyway. My logic was to try Honey but the notifications are so laggy and half the time the deal is gone by the time I click. So I was thinking maybe there's a better site that hits the big camera stores too? I'm torn between just refreshing B&H manually like a crazy person or finding a tool that actually sends push alerts for used gear on MPB. Anyone know what actually works? Im so tired of checking tabs every hour...

Over the years, I've tried many ways to snag bodies and glass without paying full retail. Back when I was first building my kit, I missed a massive sale on a 24-70mm GM because I was relying on slow browser extensions. It was gutting. Honestly, trackers like Honey are basically useless for limited-stock flash sales. In my experience, the only way to beat the crowd is setting up keyword alerts on Slickdeals. I have a custom alert for Sony A7IV and it usually pings me way before the newsletters go out. For B&H specifically, I use a tool called Visualping to monitor the price element on the page. It checks every hour and sends a screenshot if anything changes. For used stuff on MPB, you kinda just have to stalk the Like New section manually... its a grind but usually worth it for the savings.
