    Thanks, Edinburghlass.

    "I think you'll generally find floaters in the toilet :)".

    Of course, I should have said 'float'.

    Thanks for mentioning it, or I could never have shown my face in B&Q ever again! :rotfl:

    Wonder what the Megashopbot would have come up with :rolleyes:

    Looked up Monsters v Aliens DVD and selected search all sites. Cheapest price came up as £7.98 at Amazon, but when I clicked on to the shop the actual price was £9.98.

    Is the new megashopbot only going to be for CDs DVDs and Books? That would be a real shame. Can't we search for other stuff too like we could with the current one?

    Great shopbot - worked really quickly and I really like the way the postage was included in the total price, also the sorting cheapest first. I looked for a book I already have, and the bot found it immediately with lots of different sellers.
    I will be using this as soon as it's up and running! Thanks!

  • Really like it for books but when I searched for a couple of CD's for Christmas presents (The Cure, Greatest Hits) my top 3 results were for Foo Fighters!
    Great band but hubby's already got that one!

    Lots to work on I bet, well done so far :beer:

    I wish someone would come up with a decent shopbot for perfume - any ideas folks?

    I see there is perfume on there now - could have sworn it was not there before?

    Looked for perfume (my favorite, by Philosophy) got "page not found",
    Also nothing found for Aveda, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein...infact, no perfumes at all!

    Looked for music by David Bowie- got a blank page! Also the same for Annie Lennox....do you not have any music added either? Did get a link to a CD store, but it didn't have either CD either.

    -Also, would be great if we didn't have to type in both the artist and the music title- sometimes you just know they have an album out, know what it looks/sounds like but can't remember the name. If it is already possible to search this way, maybe write "and/or" between the lines of "Artist" and "Title"

    I used the tool to source prices for a paperback which I need to buy for a friend 'The Return' by Victoria Hyslop. I didn't realise that there was such a variation in prices and so would use the tool in the future. I found it easy enough to use. thanks
