Price alerts for toys and baby gear
Toy prices change through the year, and the list for Sinterklaas is usually known in October. Put the wish list in DipCatch early. It watches every item at the shops you choose and tells you when one reaches your price.
What this looks like
A LEGO City bus is €24.99 at intertoys.nl and €29.99 at bol.com. Set €22 as your price in October, and you hear about it the week one of them gets there, not after the presents are bought.
Getting the most out of it
- Add the wish list early. A price you wait for needs time to come.
- Track the set number, not the theme. "LEGO 60407" is one product; "LEGO City" is a shelf.
- For nappies and wipes, compare per piece. A big box is not always cheaper per nappy.
Shops we know well
Paste a product link from any other shop as well. Most shops work. We only set a shop up ourselves when its page is too tricky to read otherwise.
Common questions
Which toy and baby shops work?
Paste a product link. We set up Intertoys, Prénatal, bol.com and Amazon.nl ourselves. LEGO.com and Dreamland refuse our reader for now. Other webshops often work as well, and you see what we found before you save it.
When are toys cheapest?
It differs per kind of toy, and it is rarely the week before Sinterklaas. That is why DipCatch watches every day instead of guessing a date.
Is the "was" price on the page a real discount?
When DipCatch has read a shop through the 30 days before an offer, the product page puts the lowest price it saw there beside the claim.
Does it compare nappies per piece?
Yes, where the page says how many are in the pack. DipCatch then shows the price per piece, so a box of 40 and a box of 120 line up honestly.
How many products can I follow?
Twenty on the free plan, which is a long wish list. Pro follows up to 250.
Can I follow a set that is sold out?
Yes. DipCatch keeps checking, and the product page says whether it was in stock the last time we looked.
