Watching for the products you want on Newegg

Originally mentioned in passing by someone on Multiply*.

Anyway, if you know how to do a product search on Newegg, getting automated responses to those searches is ridiculously trivial. Go ahead and do your search until you have a results page that has the kind of products you're looking for (This won't work if there's only one result, as Newegg will redirect you to the product page for that result). Then take the URL of the page. For example, a search for high-end SSDs might look something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=636&Description=&Type=&N=2010150636&srchInDesc=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A30853&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A36521&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A30854&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A48677&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A46300&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A46499&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A44038&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A46019&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A47171&PropertyCodeValue=4215%3A41071

All you have to do is change that ProductList part to RSS:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/RSS.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=636&Description=&Type=&N=2010150636&srchInDesc=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A30853&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A36521&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A30854&PropertyCodeValue=4213%3A48677&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A46300&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A46499&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A44038&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A46019&PropertyCodeValue=4214%3A47171&PropertyCodeValue=4215%3A41071

Now you have an RSS feed with the latest results for your search.
