What does it mean if I say "I'm looking for Harry Potter"? Searching on the Internet, I get:
- Google Web Search - 296,000,000 results.
- Google Shopping - 115,000 results.
- Google Shopping book category - 28,000 results.
- Amazon.com - 15,000 results.
- Amazon.com book department - 4,000 results.
Are any of these helpful?
OK, let's narrow down the search to the book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
- Google Shopping Books - 15,000 results
- Amazon.com Books - 543 results.
Have you found what you wanted?
Well... Is it on sale anywhere?
Is there a first edition available?
Can you get a better deal in an auction?
And how many of these results do you need to examine before you find the one you want?
How do you find what you're looking for?
Buying Guide is a find engine.
When you look for a product on Buying Guide, you get 3 sets of results:
- PRODUCTS shows products currently available in stores. The results have been filtered so that the irrelevant items are omitted. In other words, it just shows what you're looking for.
- DEALS shows sales, coupons, rebates, clearance, outlet deals, used items, free shipping offers - but only if they are relevant to what you're looking for.
- AUCTIONS shows listings from eBay that include auctions, buy-it-nows and eBay store items. This list will include first editions, collectibles, new, used and any other items that match what you're looking for.
You'll find that every product is in stock, every price is current, every deal is still valid, and every auction is live (at the time your results appear).
That's because Buying Guide doesn't tell you what somebody else was looking for.
It listens to you, then goes out and finds What You Are Looking For.
About Us
Now you know WHAT Buying Guide is. This is WHO Buying Guide is...
We are people dedicated to doing something RIGHT and GOOD. We're tired of having the greatest information medium in the history of the world being dominated by fertilizer merchants.
So we decided to do something about it. After looking around a bit, we decided that the manure was particularly deep in the Product Information corner of the Internet and decided that it was (very) ripe for the picking.
From that point, it was just a short step, a long jump, a huge leap and many months of very-late-night programming to the creation of Buying Guide.
Now that the programming works(!), we'll be adding new Guides from here to eternity.
Please buy from our stores; they pay our bills.
We apologize for not being more chatty about our company and who works here, but we find that the fertilizer merchants tend to collect that information and then dump their loads on us.
Under interrogation, we'll admit that we live in the southern part of the US, we've been on the Internet for a very long time and we use Windows, not Mac or Linux.
We came from the computer consulting world and morphed into programmers by accident. We buy almost everything online and have never been scammed, although we have had to go to the mat with a couple of vendors.
We believe that it is better to stay out of the fertilizer pit than to save that extra $5.
Finally, we believe that Buying Guide is the World's Greatest Product Finder and that you will be very happy with it.
Let us know.
