Pricerunner.co.uk - a simple and effective site,
with good navigation and search facilities.
If you've never heard of a 'shop bot' you'll find no better example than Pricerunner. A shop bot is a consumer friendly database that searches for the cheapest seller of a wide range of popular goods. Pricerunner is probably the best known UK example and it's database is huge - hundreds of thousands of products from thousands of retailers. It also has a very diverse product range - from contact lenses to long haul flights, but it's for electrical goods that Pricerunner comes into its own. The site has very good navigation, search and filtering capabilities.
I'll use the example of shopping for an Apple iPod Video, 30 GB in White - a very common and popular object. Within only 3 clicks I have discovered that this item is priced between GBP £231.90 and GBP £314.14 (including delivery) depending on which retailer you go to. That's a potential saving of a massive GBP £82.24 (USD $156.90) in about 5 seconds of effort. Pricerunner also offers consumer reviews on the products and retailers and information about delivery costs and availability. Furthermore, some retailers offer a discount for purchases made via their Pricerunner link.
Pricerunner is a top site that will save you some time, money and effort in your shopping!
