Pebble.com

I do most of the purchasing in our home. Big ticket items Steve and I discuss first though. We usually do our research separately and see where to go for the best prices. Online purchases are hard to do. How many times have you used one of those search sites, purchased an item and after it arrives you discover

1. There are questions you should have asked first.
2. There was a better price somewhere else.
3. The store you used is less then desirable.

I’ve recently switched all my searches to Pebble.com. I’ve encountered all of the problems above and haven’t been able to find a good site to help me comparison shop until now. Pebble.com has simplified comparison shopping to one site.

Lets take for example my most recent purchase. I bought the Nikkor 55-200 mm lens for my Nikon D40. Unfortunately I used a different site to search. When I plugged the information into Pebble.com‘s system I got some pretty interesting results. The prices from various stores ranged from $170 to $230. Now at first glance I would probably have gone to another site to do some research on the store that had the lowest price. Then depending on what the results were I would have done the same for each store until I found a store I felt was the best.

Pebble.com however has a grading/review sytem for the stores they allow to advertise. This particular time the lowest price came from a store that has 4.35 stars out of 5. Thats a pretty good rating to me.

I was able to quickly tell this was the lowest price store because of Pebble.com‘s innovative badges. There is a green badge for the lowest price and a red badge for the top rated stores. Even with a 4.35 the lowest price store was not the top rated store for the Nikkor 55-200 mm lens. The highest ranking store actualy had a score of 4.8 out of 5 stars.

I was curious how the question and answer section worked and did some research on it. There were no questions already asked about the Nikkor 55-200 mm lens. So I decided to look up the Ipod Touch. We’ve been seriously considering one for Steve but we both had some questions about it. I was pleased to find some of our questions there and already answered. Steve wanted to know about how many songs he could hold on it. Since we’ve been considering it we decided that he would get the 32GB Ipod Touch. And amazingly it can hold up to 7000 songs if you only store songs on it. However the Ipod Touch also holds videos, games and 3D graphics. Someone asked the question about how fragile the touch screen is. Want to know the answer? Head over to Pebble.com and search for the Ipod Touch. If you click through the questions, you might find some others that you hadn’t thought of. I know I did.

So what do you want to search and purchase today?
