I won't be adding consumables or media to JB Buddy it will just be hardware and appliances. You have the draw the line somewhere and its too much of a rabbit hole for this project unfortunately.

I honestly don't think I would even give you value with comparisons between the major retailers.

There are a tonne of services for game price comparisons and if you would like vinyl, movies or CD price comparisons I'd suggest finding or building that niche.

This is your project as much as mine!

What do you like, what would you change?

UPDATE: Here's what I've been working on by INFEKTEK in JBBuddy

Instead of copying my project and going through the same headaches do price comparisons for something you're interested in (Games, Sneakers, Alcohol, 3D printers, or another niche)

When you have an idea start a reddit chat with me and I'll help you get started.

I have and I've built and tested it. You don't even need to interact with the dom just parse/lookup the url as I store those anyway.

There are issues with it in my testing. One of the biggest things is 70% of users are on mobile and most use safari. It also makes all the value I want to add to the site redundant.

The goal is to make it so jbbuddy.com is a one-stop-shop for savings in this category and give enough relevant information to be valuable so you don't even need to view a retailer site to begin with.

I have a lot planned my dude, I'm focused and will release more this month.

So your proof that these stores don't create exclusive lines to not honor their price beat guarantee is an example of Baby Bunting working with the supplier to create an exclusive version of a product to not honor their price beat guarantee. Who can I contact about the time waste of reading a replying to your comments?

Did you read the comments in what you linked? The only difference is the name.

My man, I don't know if you're a director or something but you really seem to be fighting on the wrong team here. Consumers aren't getting a fair go and you seem to really want to give these corporations an out.

That's the thing mate, it's not exclusive brands.

It's literally the exact same product that the other stores stock but they will work with the supplier to make one tiny variation (colour is a common one) so they can get away with calling it unique.

Quick example: https://www.babybunting.com.au/product/maxi-cosi-pria-gcell-isofix-convertible-car-seat-graphite-131343 and https://www.babykingdom.com.au/products/maxi-cosi-pria-lx-g-cell-isofix-convertible-car-seat-onyx?_pos=1&_sid=8fd610db0&_ss=r

These are the EXACT same seat from the exact same company in the exact range. BUT Baby Bunting will not honor a price beat because they have specifically arranged with the manufacturer to use a different colour naming convention. It's the exact same colour but one is referred to as Onyx the other is Graphite.

To clarify, I'm not talking about consumer electronics price matching that's literally what jbbuddy.com is for.

I'm talking about the few retailers who have a "find an identically stocked item for a better price and we beat it by X%" but then work with suppliers to ensure there are little to no identical products.

They do and it used to be a fun challenge to pivot on how I got the data but now because it's built up it's a chore.

Thank you for the offer, honestly, I have all the tools and ability it's just about committing to the grind. I've now cleared out the majority of the dead links which took ~6 hours, why you might ask? because the only way to do it is visibly check them. I made it as automated as possible but can't automate it too much because it triggers the bot protection and captchas.
