Wrong Prices on CamelCamelCamel AU?

Hello

I've noticed that the Australian CamelCamelCamel, often lists the wrong prices ?
Is there a much longer update lag than they indicate on the item page, or is it just not very accurate in general?

Take this example, for a Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone, direct from Amazon AU:

https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0002E4Z8M

https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0002E4Z8M?context=se…

CamelCamelCamel says:

Last update scan 1 hour ago
Last tracked 1 month ago

Current Price:
$707.82

However, Amazon AU says:

Current Price:

$549.00

I wonder if it's just as inaccurate when it lists things as being in/out of stock too?
Should you just always ignore that, and check the links anyway; assuming it might be wrong?

If so many of the "current" price listings are wrong; just how much can you really trust the price history of an item ?

Hope someone might have some info.

Thank you for your help

    $549 is "exclusive prime price". Regular price currently is $707.82. Maybe Camelx3 is not able to track price for Prime members?

    Hmm,

    If you're right, then it's kinda pointless - as a lot of people largely wait for sales for their online shopping?

    Can anyone confirm if this is true?

    If it is, are there any good alternative sites for Australian Amazon and other online stores, which do include specials / sales prices?

    Or is there any way to use very specifically filtered Google results only to get better historical results?
