Site Makes Comparison Shopping Easy

Would you mind paying $200 more than you have to for a holiday present?

Of course you would. But how can you make sure you're not paying too much when you're shopping online?

It's easy with BizRate.com, the Web site that lists comparison prices on thousands of items. The site tells you if the item is in stock and even scores each company's on-time delivery.

For instance, the top-selling digital camera listed on the site is the Canon PowerShot G2. On BizRate, you'll find it's selling for $899.95 at a few online retailers.

But, look closely. You find it in stock at other sites for as low as $669.95. That's a whopping $230 difference!

How about a Palm M505? BizRate lists it at 31 online stores. You can pay as much as $449.99, or look down the list and see it for just $323.

BizRate.com lists consumer electronics, household goods, clothes, books, music and DVDs.

The Web site also has an extensive toy section. There's even a whole section on Harry Potter items.

If you're not sure what to buy, you can use Bizrate's "Ultimate Gift Finder" which asks you questions about the person you are buying for and it selects the gifts for you.

Thinking about traveling? BizRate lists all the major cruise lines and their special offers. The Web site seems to have it all together just in time for holiday shopping.
