Pricewatchin’
If you’re shopping for computer or other tech-related gift items, perhaps the worst best-kept secret on the web is Pricewatch.com: the Web’s very first price comparison site. Established in 1995 to offer price comparisons of PC Computer hardware components (hard drives, memory, etc.); it’s been a godsend to me in saving money on the dozen or so computers I’ve built for myself and others over the past thirteen years.
Once the secret of only the most hardcore PC geeks, word about Pricewatch is getting around. It’s basically a searchable online ‘price war’ directory in which vendors compete with each other on thousands of items, listed from lowest to highest price. Each vendor’s listed price is guaranteed, else they get plenty of heat from Pricewatch.
But don’t think you have to “be a PC” to find anything on Pricewatch. Although PC-related components have and likely will always dominate the listings, Mac and iPod accessories are also easy to find, and always at the lowest prices available.
And in recent years, Pricewatch has expanded their horizons to include software, consumer electronics, clothing, even shoes and jewelery.
Give ‘em a shot. You may be surprised what you’ll find on www.pricewatch.com.
