found this vintage brass lamp for my new office setup but it's $150 and i'm trying to hold out for a deal. I read online that favoriting items sends alerts but some forums say that only works if the seller has a specific coupon setup. Does having it in my cart actually trigger a notification if they drop the price?
Ive had a lot of luck with this! Honestly, Etsy usually sends an email if you leave something in your cart and the seller offers a discount. It works well and Im really satisfied with how often I snag deals that way. Just a quick tip: make sure your notifications are turned on in your account settings so you dont miss those alerts.
> Does having it in my cart actually trigger a notification if they drop the price? In my experience, Etsy is kinda inconsistent. IIRC, cart notifications only work if you have marketing emails enabled, but even then it’s hit or miss. Over the years, I’ve seen that price drops don’t always trigger alerts unless a specific coupon is involved. I think it’s safer to just check the page manually... dont rely 100% on their automated system.
Yeah, its definitely hit or miss like they said. Im super satisfied using this Etsy price tracker to watch costs tho.
