Extensive Resources Available for Online Shoppers Looking to Make Smart Buys

LOS ANGELES--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Sep 18, 2002--PriceGrabber, the Web’s most innovative free shopping guide, provides product and pricing information on a wide range of items college students buy, such as computer gear, cool electronics and school supplies. By providing all the information needed to make smart shopping decisions, PriceGrabber helps students discover the three aspects of a happy shopping experience - Product, Price and Store.


THE PRODUCT

Savvy students visit PriceGrabber.com for detailed information on nine categories of products (Computers, Software, Electronics, Video Games, Office Supplies, Books, Movies, Music and Toys) before making their purchases. PriceGrabber provides detailed product information and technical specifications along with the opportunity for people to share product reviews based on personal experiences. Using attribute searching to filter results, students can hunt for items that meet tight search parameters such as features, manufacturer or price. PriceGrabber offers these thorough details to aid shoppers in choosing the product that will best suit individuals’ requirements.


THE PRICE

By working directly with online stores, PriceGrabber gathers and reports accurate information on prices, taxes, shipping costs and inventory availability - updated multiple times each day. The site consolidates this information to calculate BottomLinePrice(TM) helping shoppers identify the best deal at a glance. If current prices prove daunting to a meager student budget, students can use PriceGrabber’s unique Product Tracker to set up customizable price drop alerts for specific items.


THE STORE

Because so many online stores are aggressively competing for students’ wallets, PriceGrabber visitors can also research merchants to learn about their business practices such as payment methods and return policies. Students can even read comments from customers who have already bought from these stores. With a little due diligence, student shoppers will have positive experiences when buying online.

“Student budgets are typically tight meaning that comparative shopping is imperative,” said Pamela Swartwood, manager of communications at PriceGrabber. “By providing everything needed to make smart shopping decisions in one place, we hope to relieve some stress and give students more time to tackle the serious business of exams and papers.”
