Pretty much exactly what I was thinking! Though I would amend “price” to “usual price” and “current price” to help highlight which items are currently on sale. The scraping library I use (ScraPy) also makes it super convenient to output in other formats too, e.g. JSON, but CSV as you say is probably more suited to spreadsheet software.

Oh dear. Today I found an item on my wishlist is simply no longer available at all – it's now only available as an audiobook? How unfortunate. But I suppose fortunate from the perspective of encountering that edge case before writing any wishlist scrapers, if I wind up doing that…
