How often do you visit photography price comparison sites?

Such as camerapricebuster.co.uk?

Do you reckon there would be much call for another one? Perhaps one where you can register and ask it to email you if a price of something you're after falls below a particular amount?

Re: How often do you visit photography price comparison sites?

Interesting stuff guys - thanks for the feedback.

I think the results are what we might expect, around 80% of us use them. I know I wouldn't buy another camera without first checking CPB sometimes you can save hundreds!

Although I check current prices with CPB, I probably check S/H stock with MPB nearly as often just incase a s/h bargain comes up.

Re: How often do you visit photography price comparison sites?

The thought didn't occur to me to be honest, I have a few camera places I check out for prices (very often actually) but have never used a compare type site.
