site to compare prices from different sites

Trying to shop for the best deal for a particular item can be very hard. You hop from Ebay to Yahoo! Shopping... oh wait, I should check Amazon and even Craigslist!

Here's a website to save you time in your search while providing the market value of the item in question:

Mpire's mission is to "empower the millions of people who buy and sell items from the world's most popular shopping sites." What does this mean?

Mpire is to shopping what Indeed is to job hunting. It aggregates the top online shopping sites to track prices amongst these sites in real time and give you an indicator of the true market value of the item you are going to purchase. Upon searching for an item, they provide a link to the auction or webpage, where you can purchase it. The site, launched on June 12, 2006, currently aggregates companies such as Yahoo! Shopping, Ebay, Amazon, Craigslist and Overstock.com.

As with most web 2.0 sites, there are also some social aspects to the site. You can save a search alert for an item that you are searching for. A user can also create watchlists for different items. You can even vote for items and they then become more popular and may get featured on the main page (kind of like Digg.com).

Mpire looks to be a great tool to assist in finding the best deal for the item you are actually shopping for. Even if you don't plan to make your purchase online, you get a good ballpark on what you should be paying for the item.
