wait for the price to come to you

Not everything is worth chasing at launch. Plenty of records and merch you want will be marked down at some point, sometimes heavily, and the only question is whether you hear about it while stock is still there.

Shops do not announce markdowns the way they announce drops. A price quietly changes on a product page, the stock clears over a few days, and the people who got it were the ones already watching that exact item.

A price alert is you watching it without having to look.

Recent drops

how it works

  1. 01

    Find the product

    Anything in your feeds or in a Wingman Scan. Open its actions sheet and choose Set Price Alert.

  2. 02

    It gets watched

    The alert records what the product costs now. There is no target price to set, so there's nothing to guess at.

  3. 03

    Drops arrive in your Filtered feed

    Switch on Price Drop Notifications in Settings and your phone tells you as well.

why it matters

  1. Markdowns are quiet

    A price change is not a drop and gets no announcement, so there is nothing to follow and nothing to subscribe to.

  2. Vinyl moves a long way

    Records regularly come down by half or more once a pressing has sat for a while. That's a different kind of win to catching a release.

  3. No target price to guess

    You watch the product instead of naming a number, so you're not picking a threshold that turns out to be slightly too low.

questions

How do I set a price alert?

Open the actions sheet on any feed item or Wingman Scan result and choose Set Price Alert. It changes to Price Alert Set, and tapping it again removes the alert.

Can I set a target price?

No. You watch the product and MerchVault tells you when the price drops. You don't name a figure up front.

Where do price drops show up?

They arrive in your Filtered feed. For a push notification as well, turn on Price Drop Notifications in Settings.

Which products can I watch?

Shopify products from the stores MerchVault tracks. Custom Shopify stores you added yourself by URL aren't covered.

How do I manage the ones I have set?

The Price Alerts screen lists them all, with search, a store filter and sorting by date or price. Removing one stops the notifications for that product.
