I don't get ebots when items on my (extensive) wishlist are on sale. I very seldom buy a product the first time I see it. Usually I will wishlist it, and then every so often I will decide I feel like buying some new stuff and I'll review the list to see what I want most. Sometimes I put things on the wishlist to keep an eye on them to see if they go on sale. Sometimes I put things on the wishlist because I think I might need tham at some future point, but not now, so it acts as a reference. Sometimes I then take them off again. Sometimes I DON'T put an item on my wishlist because it's by a favorite vendor whose stock I review every so often as a matter of course. But it is a fact that if an item on my list goes on sale, I'm more likely to buy it - or at least review it as to whether I really want it.
