Compare price histories: Consumer Website of the Week

Lifehacker and Mashable both alerted readers about Decide, a new site that helps inform your decision about whether to buy now or wait on a purchase.

Enter a model number for a laptop, television or camera, and Decide will give you a recommendation: buy, because a price is not likely to change; or wait, perhaps because a price drop is expected soon.

It's often smart to check a price history before making a major purchase to get useful intel when evaluating whether a sale price is really a good deal.

But Decide also alerts you when a manufacturer has made a newer model that is available at a similar price, which is a unique and helpful feature that makes it worthy of the Consumer Website of the Week title.

So far the data is still limited to televisions, laptops and cameras, however, so for other purchases, head to sites such as pricespider.com.
