Shopping Bots: here are a few I just got from a CNBC story this morning:

mysimon.com books, groceries, computers--you name it
expedia.msn.com travel stuff: tickets, rental cars, hotels etc
travelocity.com travel tickets
onsale.com computer stuff, also does auctions

CNBC story raised interesting issue of placement fees in some shopping bots that would bias them away from pure price comparison. Issue of placement fees came up in a recent discussion of accounting practices at AMZN, so this issue looks to be central the online shopping sector.

BTW..I have not tried any of the above shopping bots.
