These pages collect a fair number of links in areas of interest to me. It is an eclectic list (some would probably say that it was "idiosyncratic"!), but the larger part relate either to New Testament studies in one form or another or to Mac pages. It should go without saying that I do not endorse everything that you might find on these linked pages, but that's "life on the web"! For a listing of content-oriented pages (i.e., full-text articles, etc.) for NT study which are available on the web, see my specialized pages: Resources for NT Study.

PriceWatch ISBN (books) DealTime MySimon BizRate NexTag
Some advice from the article "Smart Internet Shopping," by Adam C. Engst, TidBITS#608/10-Dec-01
"Price Watch is good for high-tech items like hard disks and RAM, our friend Glenn Fleishman's isbn.nu site is great for books, DealTime and mySimon and BizRate have worked well for standard consumer items, and my recent favorite has become NexTag. NexTag's database of products seems as extensive as the others, but what sets it apart is that it determines if you'll need to pay sales tax (based on your ZIP code) and adds in the retailers' shipping rates to provide the "true price." Since most low-price retailers hide some of their margin in shipping costs, and since sales tax can be significant on a high-ticket item, the "true price" is important. Don't get caught up in the assumption that a price comparison site's reported price is totally accurate - prices can change quickly."
