ZDNET Story

A random search for one of our recently popular printer deals, ML-1865, reveals the best price to be Officeworks for $57.

Staticice's best price is $98.38

The best feature other than including Officeworks is that it won't show up in the search if it is not available.

For other price comparison sites, check out the wiki

EDIT:

Woohoo, Search for Corona beers

    Google Shopping i find more to be for the general population

    whereas Staticice is more for the Gadget/Computer Products

    as in Staticice will list more "Gadget-y" stores than Google Shopping

    I like how GoogleShopping has a description box though

    Why would you search for Corona beer unless you're not a guy? ;)

      what would a guy drink then?

        LOL, anything other than Corona.

        And to the person who negged me, it was a tongue-in-cheek joke! People can drink what they like, it's a free world.

        For me, if I was after a real beer with real taste, Corona would be one of the last beers I would consider purchasing.

    While it seems Google Shopping is still lagging behind StaticICE for computer hardware/components, we need to remember that it has just been released in Australia and who knows what their plan is and how fast will they grow. I am sure Google has ALREADY scrapped all the pages, but chose to display only some inside search result.

    Now imagine that integration with Google Local and maybe an internal competitor to Yelp (recommendation/reputation engine) + price comparison result. I'll be worried if I am GetPrice, Shopbot or StaticICE.

    It would be interesting to figure out how to integrate all those nice Google tools into OzBargain though.
