Ok I have been sitting on this idea for quite a while but I don't have the skills to make it happen

The idea does come with a fair bit of explaining to go with it so please stay with me

so when you want a new zhanchi and you want it as cheap as possible you have to look at 50 sites and pick witch one will ship faster and witch one will be over all cheaper, but why not have a program to tell you these things and show you some reviews of said product.
It could tell you what sites offer DIY's and witch sites offer dhl shipping
It could also tell you if site A Will get you your order cheaper than site B

All of this is all theoretical but this might happen

I definitely do not have much skill in programming, so I am asking if anyone is up to making this, this could also become a market place for cube shops where they could put up their cube offers.

So what do you all think?
 
I did this with a spreadsheet once when buying cubes from China.

It's similar to websites you get comparing mobile phone deals... The issue is that the mobile phone websites exist because the mobile phone sector is worth billions of pounds/dollars a year. The mobile phone companies pay an introducer fee to the website owners for sending business their way. The fee for sending a customer to a phone company selling a £40/month contract over 2 years would be substantial. If you sent Fasttech a customer to buy a 6 dollar single cube, could they even afford a fee?

I don't think there is insufficient demand our money to make such a website viable. There's not enough advertising to pay for the site, and it would mean someone independently visiting each site every day to check prices. If anyone is prepared to do that for free then they have way too much spare time!
