Any idea how much the paid to buy these guys out? No way the software could cost any more than a couple $100k to rewrite from scratch. I would not think Amazon or Excite will get any kind of price increases/improved margins out of disabling these comparison shopping bots. There will probably be another couple of versions of these bots out on the net next week, esp. if they think they can get bought out for mega millions.

Will it ever end?
