For those who are interested, we're back and now at a new location:
http://www.pcpricepatrol.com

FTO338 - Very good questions. This is actually an area that we are focusing on at the moment. What we are planning to do is provide a section where users can 'review' different shops, based on their experience. If a certain supplier receives too many bad reviews, theyll be gone from the price list until their reviews improve. We're also looking at providing some sort of local service (ie. which shops are close to me).

For those who commented on MSY - it is actually fairly difficult for us to include them in the newsletter, but there does seem to be some demand for it so we are looking at including their prices next month. The reasons why they are difficult include:

- multiple price lists (a public one, and a platinum members club one...and yes, i knew the password is well known but that's not the point)
- prices are provided in a pdf making them difficult to search and compare

Onzo - it really depends on the product! For example, an Antec 430W True Power supply costs $110 from MSY, and $101 in our newsletter. Admittedly, some of the MSY prices are cheaper than our newsletter as well, so we are considering including them in future. And if not, well you guys now have something to compare to. If you give me a specific hdtv card that you want onzo, I'll be glad to help you find a good price.

Cheers,
Ben.
