Consumer Electronics and Shopping Comparison Engines

If you are a consumer electronics retailer, then you already know you are at the forefront of e-commerce in many ways because of the competitiveness of your space. Consumer electronics retailers on average will have the tightest margins this side of NASA. So when the question comes to making money on shopping comparison engines, much less commission driven sites like Amazon, getting accepting profit can be a tough proposition.

I recently had a chance to speak with one consumer electronics and CSE authority who agreed. Based on their observations, Shopzilla profits had dipped within recent months a lot more than was comfortable. Shopping.com has apparently been off the map for a while. With two of the heavyweights out of the picture, the next natural question was, well who is doing good for you right now?

PriceGrabber.

Hmm, interesting. Anyone else have this experience?
