Just wondered what everyone thinks. The assumption is that everything on the internet is cheaper due to lower overheads and running costs so whats the point in comparing prices....or do some online retailers take advantage of this?

Opinions please.

I buy from Amazon at times cos it always does exactly what it says on the tin....not always the cheapest but always arrives !!

Amazon was the cheapest place for my tomtom and I scoured the damned t'internet first too!

Try Amazon Jersey and Amazon Canada too - good exchange rates!

I buy from the MarketPlace Sellers on Amazon - they often undercut Amazon by significant amounts. Bought a box set of 8 CDs recently. Amazon UK £50, from the MarketPlace seller £15 (shipped from USA). This was a set that was Manufactured in UK, shipped to USA and then back to UK for me - how can it be over 200% cheaper after being flown around the globe????

Not as cheap as everyone thinks then?

I always use price comparison sites before any major purchase - it seems that no one retailer is always cheapest for everything (which makes sense, I suppose).

For DVDs I use www.find-dvd.co.uk - other items I search sites like Kelkoo or Dealtime first. Saved a packet on a washing machine a few weeks ago that way
