Pricewatch Overhaul

Back in the day, Pricewatch was where you went to buy everything geeky because you knew that none of the retail outlets could ever match the prices you got there. I had some horrible experiences buying from some shady dealers. I once bought a “new” Seagate drive that arrived dead. I also paid for the retail box and got an OEM. I was mad and the seller wouldn’t do anything about it so I was stuck. That drove me away from Pricewatch for a number of years but I decided to go back to look at the prices on blank CDs and I was surprised to see shipping prices and customer feedback included in the information you get when you do a search. Now I can avoid the retailers with horrible feedback even if it costs me a couple of bucks to buy from someone else. Yay for Pricewatch!
