As some of you have known for a while, I have been writting a program called Amazon Expert. At some point I expanded it to support other eTailers such as Buy.com, Express.com, and Barnes and Noble.
I have actually finished it over a month ago, not quite sure what to do about it. Today I finally decided to just drop-it as is and let you guys just play with it.
The program's home page is: http://www.inmatrix.com/dvd_expert
And what it does is allow you to download the entire database of the eTailers mentioned above and filter through them in real-time for such things as prices, discounts, shipping, etc...
It also allows for HTML exports, which can be quite useful.
For example, here is a list I made of Amazon's best discounted DVDs (as of about 2 hours ago):
Excalibur (1981), $9.99, 33% off
Galaxy Quest (1999), $16.19, 40% off
James and the Giant Peach - Special Edition (1996), $19.49, 35% off
The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea (2000), $19.99, 33% off
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Special Edition (1993), $19.49, 35% off
The Nightmare Before Christmas/James and the Giant Peach (Special Editions Two Pak) (1993), $34.95, 42% off
The Perfect Storm (Deluxe Collector Set Signature Series) (2000), $120.00, 40% off
The program is freeware, I hope you will have fun prodding around the various databases.
