Mr Dealio

For me, one of the best things about the internet is the ability it gives you to shop around and get a bargain. There are a number of useful shopping tools available, one of the most common being comparision engines. As useful as they are at providing a snapshot of prices at a moment in time, they lack the ability to track the prices.

Mr Dealio not only gives you a price comparison tool, it adds a price tracking tool into the mix. I've seen a similar tool at ebuyer.com, that allows you to track prices of your catalogued items. As useful as it is, it only allows you to track within their own store. The joy of Mr Dealio is that it does it over a number of stores giving you a look at the overall price trends, and the places you can get the best deal. You can choose to track a specific item over a given period with email alerts, and see which items are falling in price. Currently there's a limited use as it's only US based, and it doesn't have the range of stores that some of the bigger engines have, but it's the sort of tool that you can see just those bigger engines incorporating in the near future - and as an innovative new serivce, gets its place here.

bernzy said...: I agree. Mr Dealio is the next best thing to hit the comparison shopping market. I love the fact is gives you the fluctuations of the prices and it emails you when there is a change in price. As this site grows so will it's customer base. I'll be passing this site on to my friends as well. Happy shopping.; 10:36 PM
