What are the best price comparing sites???? (i.e MYSIMON)

What is the best price comparing site??? I know about MYSimon, It is awesome, but I want to see if their is better prices for certain products

These price comparison web sites tend to specialize in computer/electronic related merchandise:

PriceGrabber.com

Shopper.com

PriceWatch.com tends to be the AnandTechers favorite but I prefer the format of PriceGrabber.com

Bear in mind that most of these web sites do not factor in current sales, promotions, coupons, free shipping, etc. Like if you wanted to buy a digital camera you're best of finding the lowest price then buying it from Staples.com instead of that lowest price vendor because:
1) Staples.com has coupons coupons coupons
2) Staples.com will price match a competitor
3) Staples.com is offering a free Iomega 100MB USB Zip drive with the purchase of a digital camera
4) If you order through an ecentives web site you can save 4% off your order.
5) Free shipping over $50.

So even though the price comparison web site says whatever.com has the lowest price it doesn't mean you can't find it for even lower elsewhere.

Usually I check PriceGrabber, MySimon, and PriceWatch. Occasionally I will look on DealTime but they rarely have a lower price than one of the other 3. PriceWatch is the best place to look for computer-related products, the other 2 are best for electronics and DVD's etc.

I am looking for a price comparing site that will compare books, namely computer programming books.

Anybody know any,other than MYSIMON

 

[stonerdave]

yes, i can think of one...goto rusure.com. They let you type in the isbn number into their shopping bot.

actually, i think they have a diff system now. they have a shopping bar which i'm not sure has the same search tools, but look for sites that let you search by isbn. that feature rocks.

PriceGrabber.com (as other people have already posted) is a site I often use to compare prices for computer products and books! When getting computer/programming-related books, I normally shop @ A1Books.com, though.

For books I use http://www.addall.com.
