Prices Are Heating Up at PriceHeat

I’ve finally found it; a useful Web 2.0 web site. I became aware of PriceHeat.com this morning when the owner announced the beta at an online community I participate in. Right off the bat I loved what I saw.

The basic premises is to compare item prices while shopping, not a new idea for sure, but PriceHeat does something interesting. They have used Amazon.com as a catalyst for the online shopper.

You simply add a link to your links bar on your browser and go shopping at Amazon. Once you find an item you like, simply click the PriceHeat link and you are presented with not only Amazon’s price, but the prices from competitors. Sometimes Amazon is cheapest, some times not, but you always find the best deal.

I did a search on Amazon.com for Achtung Baby by U2. $12.98 isn’t so bad for a CD, but with PriceHeat I found that Walmart had the exact some album for only $9.72

Hi Ryan,

Not really about PriceHeat, but just wanted to warn you that some of the albums that Walmart carry are edited versions. You probably already knew this, but just a word of caution :)

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard. Sometimes that can be a good thing. I remember hearing about a lady who bought an Eminem (or something similar) CD for her kid at Walmart once and it just happened to not be edited. Whoops! Talk about litigation alley.
