I want a website where I can put in my zip code and find the CHEAPEST services in my area. Anything you can think of would be listed. From patching a tire, to getting a dog nutured. It is like a new and improved yellow pages. I think this idea would take off if someone actually built such a web site.
I would but I don't know where to get started.. any suggestions?

I think it would be nice, but it would require every business in the nation to get involved by posting their prices on the site, so it's a lets all. Not only is it a lets all, there's no way that expensive places, like Shell gas stations, would post their prices. They'd never get any business. This would be a good thing, but it just wouldn't happen. |

Actually this is kind of 3/4 baked. There are some websites that you enter your ZIP code and it will tell you which gas station has it cheapest in you area, but I don't know about any other services (hence the 3/4, not fully). |

You want to be serviced, on the cheap? |

The difference in price between things can indicate the quality of them, for example a $3 haircut isnt going to be very good. |
|
| |
I regularly search for things and find sites that list appropriate companies in the area I was looking. |
|
| |
For products, kelkoo and yahoo and many others list products by price. |

It is advisable that you nurture your dog
yourself, or it will likely grow up being
dissociated from you. |

Although this is simply a mixture of Froogle and Local Google, this does not work in practice, for the simple reason that bricks-and-mortar companies do not post all their prices on the Web, and have no real incentive to do so. |
