EC, what a great idea… I hadn’t thought of using this to enable profiteering in the used book world!

I used this today, at a library booksale. I actually used it to find out whether it was worth buying a book to resell on Amazon’s marketplace. I was able to elimiate quite a few purchases by finding out they were only selling for pennies on Amazon. And I’ve seen an ad for a similar service that wanted $4.99 a month! This is fantastic, thanks so much.

Hi,

You can also do this with google by sending an SMS to GOOGL (46645).

For example:
# Price ipod 20gb
# ipod 20gb prices

Here’s the FAQ link:

Works great!
