Hi there
I've started this thread as a result of this discussion about Amazon pricing - it might save people some money - and not just on banjos!
There's a website called www.camelcamelcamel.com that can display price history of an Amazon product. It also has a Firefox plugin which I use, available from their homepage.
Here's the GF-85 in question on the thread I mentioned before (taken using the Firefox plugin - note the camel icon bottom-right which activates the tool). The green line is the Amazon price, the blue is 3rd-party vendor price:
...and a lefty RK 80 I keep my eye on - it seems Amazon does this price-drop thing now and again:
FYI apparently the site is called 'camel camel camel' to reflect the hard-sell & bartering done in North African camel markets.
Have fun!

Usual disclaimers apply - I have no vested interest in the site, YMMV etc...
