i got an email recently from a woman doing some marketing for a site called NetHaggler.

apparently you can…

• tag an item you desire using their toolbar and when the price drops to what you want to pay, they’ll inform you.

• get them to nag a retailer to lower the price for you immediately, or…

• join a group of shoppers to haggle for a group rate!

crazy huh? it’s still in beta so we’ll see how it pans out. it seems too good to be true. it needs a new web designer- the logo is a blatant copy of flickr’s and would probably only work for items with less demand and no fixed value. however it could work especially well for things like clothes and shoes. it seems to have a good selection of retailers so far (Macy’s, Tiffany, Delia*s, Nordstrom, FCUK, Bloomingdale’s…).

another site i discovered recently is JungleCrazy. its an image-driven engine that crawls Amazon.com for its backend most insane deals ever. anything over 70% off. its a beautiful site, but kind of a bitch to navigate.

crazygonuts. the interwebs are my favorite.
