I'm having an issue with the Trigger Price option in the products I'm watching.

For example:

I have set my trigger price to $95 for a WD5000BEVT (a 2.5" HD). I received an automated email a few days later saying it had dropped to $93.xx. All is good.

A day later it went back to $96.xx or something, and then a few days after that it dropped to $93.xx again, however this time I did not receive an email.

Any ideas?

Pretty sure it's that way by design. Otherwise the price triggers would never expire and you could get dozens of emails if prices fluctuate.

I'll ask though.

So it's only a one shot deal?

Yes, the way it works is a one-time notification. As soon as it falls below that price you are notified and it is marked in the database that you've been alerted.

Otherwise, as Ryan says, it would not expire and you might end up getting a LOT of emails

Can I set a new trigger price and have it alert me or do I have to re-add the item?

I believe you would have to just re-add the item.
