Keep Items in sync with their Amazon listing #62

Open leesharma opened 7 years ago

Item prices change frequently on Amazon, so fetching the price once and relying on that data forevermore is a risky strategy; there's a good chance it will get out of date pretty quickly. Same thing for removed/out of stock items.

I'd suggest adding a recurring background task to ping Amazon for changes and some sort of warning that we might be a little out of date on the app.

Any other ideas?
