I'm investigating the use of 'bots to beat the price of our university bookstore on texts I
use in my classes. I compared two books for next fall, purchasing 25 copies and it
took about 30 seconds for each search. Buying at a store besides AMZN saved the students a total of $1175 for the first book, and $500 on the second. The AMZN price is the same as the bookstore would charge, so this represents no savings. Buying from stores other than AMZN does provide substantial savings. I'm waiting to learn if the cheapest stores can really deliver.
