So www.books.com (part of netmarket operated by cendant) is cooler. It listed the same book at 49.94. But it has a compare button that compares to amazon and barnes and noble. I clicked the compare button and it said the price was higher and they would lower the price right then and there to 39.94. Doesn't beat IBUY on this book, but I thought the instant lowering of price was great. This was for the Cold Fusion 4 Web Application Construction Kit with CDROM. Is this the same book you were looking at? I have to admit, shopping.com did have the lowest price based on what you said. Maybe books.com will add them to the comparison. One thing is for sure, web biz will get cutthroat real fast with online comparisons.
