Accessible via a toolbar button, Ookong (pronounced u-kun) will provide you with a price history for any item on Amazon. One can only assume that they can't possible have a full history on all products, but here's what I get for the Snuggie.
The button appears in the toolbar as a line-chart image.
And when you click it and see the Ookong information, it changes to a magnifying glass, becoming confusingly similar to some other buttons.
Anyway, here you can see that the Snuggie has dropped from almost $14 to $9 and some change.
I think I'll take my chances and ride it out a while longer.
I don't see any disclosure on the website, but keep in mind that items purchased through the Ookong site will result in them getting a portion of the sale on a performance basis. Not that that's a bad thing.
