[...] In line with such online shopping trick, Marshall Kirkpatrick mentioned in his blog entry at techcrunch.com the launching of Price Fight. Price Fight is a latest search engine tool used in online shopping. The application is designed to provide added search features like metric options. It also allows online shoppers to compare shopping info like customer service and shipping details. Although Price Fight is a search engine tool that is likely to be copied by other developers, the tool’s featured concept is still good and quite useful.

Please try to stick to correct grammatical structures.

Specifically, “in regards to” is incorrect usage.

I think this is quite deceiving. A toshiba laptop i was looking for was listed at $898 on pricefight as the lowest price. However, I found two other sites compusa and fry’s which had the same laptop that I was looking for, priced at $549 and $649

The problem with their secret shoppers/customer rating is service varies from store to store. If that’s one of their major metrics any algorithms they use that factor that in are flawed.

Techcrunch » PriceFight: Because There’s More to Shopping Than Low Prices…

“Austin Texas based PriceFight launched this morning. It’s a shopping search engine that offers a metric it calls “Peoples’ Choice” in addition to displaying which merchants sell an item at the lowest price. Merchants are rated on the fly base…

In the customer’s mind, price is often associated with quality; in reality, service is just as important. If the merchant is to make any money as a price leader, product quality or service has to suffer (unless you have buying clout, in which case the suppliers suffer). It is nice to see that these guys are adding the service dimension into the online shopping experience. Now customers have a way to determine if the low is too high in the long run.

^ yes, i noticed that too.

i wish somebody would create this for fashion/shopping. i would gladly share my enormous database of top and second tiered stores that most girls shop online if it meant that somebody would create a killer solution specific to fashion. right now, we have to go from site to site and then hunt down codes to see who is offering what – this would be so much easier.

Hmmmm. I was actually hoping it would rate the companies based upon how “green” they are. Now *that* would be something to blog about.

I’d gladly pay a few dollars more here and there to support companies who are actually trying to be responsible eco-citizens.

(Ew, I just said eco-citizens. Sorry. But you know what I mean, I hope.)

Ergonomic UI… but how different is it from PriceGrabber?

The site looks nice and everything…but 12 merchants? Maybe a review (or a launch) should have been postponed until they were a little further along.

I like the simplicity of their UI. It’s nice and clean. I also like their concept of the “People’s Choice” but I would like to see more transparency on factors that make it the People’s Choice.

The screen shot of the merchant website doesn’t add any value, but replacing it with positive or negative indicators on the store would be useful. It looks like they are also using a CPA model, so without disclosing any revenue numbers, maybe showing a percentage of users who purchased from the various merchants would help define the “People’s Choice” better.

Overall, I like what PriceFight has done so far. There’s definitely room for improvement but congrats to the PriceFight team on their public launch.

From the stats on my site, people don’t care about anything else except LOW PRICE…

Yawn… This space is getting very crowded and the innovation behind this space is lacking. The affiliate commission isn’t enough to support a company. I’m a super affiliate I owned dozens of affiliate sites. Good money, but not enough to support a CEO’s salary and team of developers. What’s their business model? Don’t tell me! its commission based.

Best of luck…

Not difficult to duplicate? How is this different from seller ratings offered at pretty much every single comparison shopping site? No proprietary algorithms requred.

There should be a way to order the search results by price, lowest to highest. Isn’t the point of the site to find the best price?

I just played around with it, I do like it a lot, very nice looking site also. They definitely need more merchants but like you said, that will come with time.
