You can save a wishlist of books and have it notify you via email when your desired price range is found. ETA - Includes shipping cost too. (I originally posted this over in the Misc. Books section, but I think it's more appropriate here.)

my name's Giz and I'm an addict Posts: 8,002 Group: Global Moderators Member #31 Joined: December 23, 2005	BookkooB It searches for the best price for a book - only new ones but it's cool cos it factors in the delivery costs. Good for when only a new book will do!

I haven't gone on them but are they not for US sites? Cool, thanks for pointing that out. When the window opened, I didn't expand it, and it says right at the top "BookkooB searches UK bookshops to allow you to buy books at the best prices!" so I didn't see any reason to search any further on the site. Thanks Lucie.

There's a pinned topic at the top of this forum called Search for Best Prices. You might wanna check that thread too. (And I'll eventually merge this one with that as well so it doesn't get lost.

The Queen of Paranormal Posts: 8,397 Group: Members Member #186 Joined: January 24, 2007	Marlene Jan 10 2008, 11:03 AM Also for other Europeans? That would be nice. If the price is nice for amazon.co.uk or play.com I could see myself using these sites but it would help if there was a Europe wide search.
