Do you like the price check?

somf69 had a quick thing to say said Sat, Jul 19th 2014 at 12:06am ET

I love that meh is comparing their prices on products with Amazon....
As an Italian, I find it very difficult to let things go or forget about things that have upset me in the past. So seeing Meh compare prices brings a slight smile to my face....

I noticed that. I think it's appealing. I almost always check Amazon's price and use it as a gauge for whether something is a deal or not. This saves me the trouble assuming they are being honest (that's totally going to bite me in the ass).

- Honesty is our policy. Or is it because the community loves to lambaste us when we screw up and we're too fragile for that.

Yes I like it and no, it's not extraordinarily useful.
Yes - It's great to know what the markup would be for 2 day Prime shipping and a (generally) longer warranty or return option.
No - Amazon isn't a clearance site, the price to price comparison isn't equal, so seeing if it's a deal or not from just that is iffy at best.

- While it might be difficult to determine if it IS a deal, it could make it easy to immediately determine if it is NOT a deal

I like it. Very useful. Takes me right to the page I'm going to check anyway, not just for the price but mostly because I like to read what other suckers ...., er I mean buyers have said after buying one.

The link to the Amazon page is very useful. Amazon pages will often have more detailed specs and the reviews are invaluable.

I like the price check. Of course, we can often buy used or refurbished items from Mamazon for less, so ... {checking, checking, checking} a used one of these is available for a mere $1k - plus $4.95 shipping.

Price check is nice to see if the deal is, at a glance, really Meh. or not.

Other than that.. It's probably more of an apples to half-eaten apples comparison.

Ah but is anyone price checking a few days afterwards to make sure that Amazon is not in on the deal and raising the price to make the deal look better? How "in bed" is Amazon with Meh?

- Who cares? A multi millionaire asked us to give him $10K so he could offer us things to buy that nobody needs, then tell us why we shouldn't

- ... buy it, just to see if we'd still spend our money on this stuff. And we do. And you're worried that the 'zon might be in on the scam?

I like it. Amazon sometimes has additional photos and/or product specs and having the link right there saves me a step.

I hate it, it makes me absolutely livid. It's the worst thing on the website and it should be removed immediately. Thanks in advance!
