cool - good job. 'Bout time we saw a bit of price competition between online chandlers. I get a bit fed up with RRP all the time.......considering the margins on some of it.

Heh. I feel your pain. But I have to say, based here as I am in Spain, I wish I could access UK prices in the bricks and mortar chandleries over here! Still, I guess the winter sunshine is a compensation.

My experience so far with Pricealicious is that there are definitely stores with better average prices and stores with worse, but the spread on any given item is surprisingly wide, and the same store can offer the best price on one item and the worst on another.

Nice idea, couple of points if i may -

It doesnt include additional shipping costs, for example my random search of harken 406  (a double microblock) brings up a number of results, however when you go through to look to purchase the item, it is not actually the cheapest. An ability to include shipping would be good to find out where you were actually getting the better prices ,a-la googleshopping / googlebase results.

How does one go about being included as a store? A number of our ebay and amazon items come up, but obviously not our site as its unselectable. Does it run on keyword searches from specific websites or do you upload a product database, again, like googleshopping?

But I have to say, based here as I am in Spain, I wish I could access UK prices in the bricks and mortar chandleries over here! Still, I guess the winter sunshine is a compensation.


Always willing to ship as cheaply and as quickly as possible to spain :)

......considering the margins on some of it.


I wish LOL


Hope mods etc dont consider this post advertising, will edit if you like.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for checking it out. Shipping costs is next on my todo list, should have something in the next couple of days. And I'll add your site as well. No product uploads to deal with, it's running searches on your site.

Cheers!
