Anyway to see how often a product goes on sale?

I wanted to buy Nightshift3D's sci-fi props and a Sci-Fi suit from another vendor that was on sale for a space horror story I'm doing. I had the products in my cart and had the cash today to buy them. Now their sales are over and at least $10 a pop where my total was under $5 on sunday. Not that I am undermining the products. They seem great and worth the sale price but using 3D as a hobby, I definitaly don't have the cash for it at the moment.

 

Is there some online resouce we can use to see how often those products goes on sale and for what amount? Checking the site daily daily or even sometimes weekly if the stuff goes on sale again isn't possible most of the time for me. If it turns out those products only goes on sale only once a year or longer then I'll probably write it off for now till eventually have the full amount, find free replacement props/suits or find it on sale again. But a resource for checking products like that could be useful in future for various reasons if one exists.

    AFAIR Nightshift's items are on sale or in Fast Grab quite often, but it's usually Flash or Blink sales so you must react quickly. Otherwise there is the yearly PA sale which comes within a couple of months I think, where all (?) stores are 50% off or so.  

    It's easy to write a script that notifies you immediately when the price changes for a certain product but it requires that you are online and have the script running when it happens.

    Sales vary, frequency-wise.
     

    The saying, there is always another sale is very true, but some vendors are on sale (it seems) more than others.

    September and October are both months when better than normal sales occur; it will of course depend on if the items available are what interests you or not.
