On occasion, the price on eBay ends up being higher than the price through traditional retail channels. Instead of second guessing and digging through hundreds of shopping sites and comparison options, Pricepirates pulls in eBay bid prices and compares them against shopping comparison sites, Amazon Marketplace for a more complete picture of your shopping options."</i><br /><br />This is a bit off-topic, but since I'm sure that many readers here have used eBay for buying gadgets and accessories, I thought it would be worth sharing - I've often found myself bidding on an item, only to have some mildly-insane bidder come along and jack up the price to the point where it's almost at full retail price. This tool helps give a more complete picture of the market value for your item. And hey, it's free!

Pricepirates is a good concept and idea. But I think it still need lots of work. One section I noticed lacking is the number of store it has. In order to perform good comparison there need to be more stores to compare price against. I currently use and recommend PriceComparison.com (http://www.PriceComparison.com).

Just my 2 cents
