I’m sure this has happened to you - you buy a TV or something similar from a big box retailer with the comfort of knowing that if the price drops anytime over the next 30 days, you're eligible for a rebate.

OBJ Startup , Best Buy

You walk out of the store and, most likely, don’t ever think about it again. And according to local e-commerce startup Gazaro, an OBJ Startup to Watch in 2010, you're not alone - the company says 62 per cent of people don’t claim rebates even when they qualify for one. Enter Gazaro's newest product.

I interviewed Alexander Rink, CEO of Gazaro, because of the company’s approach to creating value for shoppers who use mobile technology. The service started as a web application to draw attention to the latest and lowest prices for consumer electronic, and but now it features a mobile application allowing consumers to be notified when they qualify for a rebate on products with price reductions.

It has built a service around the open inventory of Best Buy, so if you're planning on buying products from that firm at any point, you might want to check this service out.
