<a href="www.bottomdollar.com">www.bottomdollar.com </a> is an average site. But sometimes if I cant find it on pricewatch I check there. Its normally very slow, and alot of times turns up a bunch of bad results but it sometimes has a greater selection. But www.pricewatch.com (http://www.pricewatch.com) is the Best, by far.

Also I've found the < a href="www.reviewfinder.com">www.reviewfinder.com </a> search engine handy at times.

Use pricegrabber.com to find the lowest "calculated" prices on a product. The calculated price is determined by the tax and the area code you enter.

The prices listed there are SOMETIMES cheaper than pricewatch.com. The seller rating and calculated cost are a plus with this site.

I also like ibuyer (http://www.iBuyer.net/) and PriceScan (http://www.pricescan.com/0101.asp).

PriceScan is nice because it has good filters for more focused searches and research.

Be careful of super cheap deals because the reseller often makes up for this with padded shipping charges. For instance, Neutron (http://www.neutronet.com) has good prices and a decent Reseller Rating, but they have started using a non-cumulative shipping fee. In other words, each item shipped gets charged a shipping fee rather than a bundled shipping fee. For instance, if you ordered a CPU and mouse from them, rather than charging $10 total for shipping, they would charge you $10 for the CPU and $8 for the mouse. This is a shady policy and has prevented me from ordering anything from them since then instituted it.
