If you're looking for guidance on what to buy, the site's method for helping you make your choice can be confusing and the results are not always helpful. The site is better for those who have already done some research on a product and are looking for the best deal. THE DEAL DealTime claims to search 7,000 stores for the lowest prices. Like MySimon, the site offers a wide range of shopping categories but specializes in consumer electronics. Even if it doesn't come up with an acceptable price right away, DealTime will track a product and keep searching for better deals.
Shoppers receive e-mail updates if the site finds a lower price.
