[QUOTE="HinterWelt, post: 3143909, member: 14785"] I have written page scraping software and use some third party software that works well. It would be interesting to have the ability to scrape other sites for their catalog and compare prices. I am not a big fan of competing on price but it is a consideration. I guess I was thinking along the lines of being able to "fire sale" all HinterWelt products;i.e. by company, product line or the like. Alternatively, you could put the breaks on rampant sellers by increasing margin and decreasing bandwidth usage. Or, for that matter, just general pricing controls based on genre for holidays; i.e. Horror on sale for Halloween. The big difference, and I think this would be the stumbling block, is that promotion and sales responsibility would be more heavily shifted to the store front. To be sure, there is still the motivation for the publisher to get paid by promoting their own products but now the store front's profits would be tied to the sales and their margins. Who knows though, that could be a selling point since they would have more control over pricing and promotion. For the record, I prefer this line of discussion much more than registering complaints. Not that those are not valid but I like finding solutions. :) Bill [/QUOTE]
