Best Bargain website - ideas anyone?

BazMan (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Friday, 18th January 2002, 20:25

Hi guys, I`m considering setting up a website that details the best bargains to be found on the web. Initially the site will be focused on DVDs, players, etc... but hopefully we`ll be able to broaden the scope to include many more things at a later stage.

If you guys had access to a site like this what would you want from it? just the best bargains or a comparison of all prices found?
a search facility so we could find the item you want at the best price?
reviews of movies, discs on site?
reviews of the various sites where you can purchase your DVDs?
a search for the item on eBay?

Anything you think should be on a website like this let me know. Any other ideas/thoughts would also be greatly appreciated.

The site is not a plan to make money just a plan to bring all the best bargains together on one site for everyone to access.

Thanks
BazMan

I totally applaud your sentiments, Baz.

I think you should ensure you cover every website going, not just the ones that pay the best affiliate premiums. That means including retailers from all around the globe - EzyDVD, DDDHouse, DVDBO, DVDCrave, Devoted, Coolashop, etc, etc.

Most "pricheshopper" sites rely an awful lot on affiliate links, but if you could provide a site that has no distinct bias (and by that I mean avoid banner ads if poss !) you would be servicing a great niche.

Be sure to include a currency converter, links to sites such as IMDB (for reviews) and maybe hardware sites (such as HCCO) to ensure that people get the best independent reviews of sites.

It is possible to generate revenue from sites such as these with simple text links - if I see another comparison site that boasts "Amazon" as offering the best deal I will be hitting the "X".

Stay indepedent, earn affiliate sums discreetly and you could be onto a winner.

Good luck !
