Thanks Katiesam - try:

Let me know if they're OK - the games one seems to return lots of PC / console accessories as well which is annoying, but it still turns up a few game bargains - especially for PC!
Thanks again everyone for the feedback - only downside is that I think I'm spending more on CDs now than I did before, LOL... At least I get more for my money! :rolleyes:Rich - Look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves!

Hi Everyone,
If anyone's still finding the penny+ CD search widget useful, I've updated it so now it:
- includes eBay 'Buy it now' brand new sales too
- factors in the postage cost so you can see exactly what you pay
- orders the results with the cheapest at the top
Hope this makes it easier to use / more useful! It makes Christmas pressie buying a lot easier for me this year!

Fantastic little search engines - but another vote for Nintendo DS in the game one please. Keep up the good work, this is a very welcome addition.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0

Hi,
Glad it's useful - thanks again everyone for the feedback!
As requested, I've added Nintendo DS to the games search one, let me know how well it finds bargains!
For bargain hunting, I've found it quite good fun to just put in single letters and see what comes up - like 'a' and 'under £1' in CDs or 'b' and 'under £10' in games. Have found quite a few unexpected things doing that! It's good if you just fancy buying a new CD / book etc. but aren't sure exactly what, lol.
Here are the search tools I've made so far if anyone's interested in taking a look:
CDs: http://www.richardwestsoley.co.uk/amazon.htm (now searches brand new eBay 'buy it now' sales too, despite the URL!)
Books: http://www.richardwestsoley.co.uk/books.htm
DVDs: http://www.richardwestsoley.co.uk/dvds.htm
Games: http://www.richardwestsoley.co.uk/games.htm
Clothes: http://www.richardwestsoley.co.uk/clothes.htm (Not had too much luck with this one as it only tends to find accessories like wallets, etc., rather than clothes)
As ever, all feedback appreciated!

Just been playing with the DS one in games and I was just wondering if there is a way to search for all the ones that come in under the cash value X. There are so many games for the DS I can never recall what I am looking for, and there are plenty I would probably like but don't know about.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0

Hi Jane,
Unfortunately it always seems to require a keyword for the search to work - I haven't found a way to return results just on price. There is a little trick, though - just put in letters of the alphabet, and you get a bunch of results containing things you might want to buy which you hadn't thought of before! I've been doing that a lot with CDs - searching on the letter 'a' as a keyword under 50p. Lots of cheap brand new goodies turn up... Quite good fun as well, you do get some funny results that way (as well as good ones!).

I tried that for a while - got one or two up, but didn't have time to get too far thru the alphabet. Mind you, it might be a little optimistic searching on the under £1 for DS games!! I will have a bit of fun with it later anyway, thanks.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
