New feature

We're introducing a new feature which we hope you will all like - the Adscene 'PriceCheck'.

Every month we will take a sample of prices for some of the more expensive items from retailers along the North Coast and Santiago. The idea is to keep everyone updated with benchmark prices for items such as TV's, fridge/freezers etc, the sort of items you only shop for once in a while.

We know how much hassle it is going to all the main shops on the North Coast and then checking Santiago to see if the prices are better. And none of the stores here bother with putting the prices on the web or issuing decent catalogs, so you have to physically visit a store to check a price.

We've been buying a few items recently such as white goods, electrical items and furniture, and the difference in price for the same or comparable item can add up to quite a lot!

The time wasted in trawling round all the stores though is a bit of a bind - so hopefully the 'PriceCheck' feature should save you some time - you can go directly to the cheapest seller, or negotiate another seller down.

Hopefully it may encourage some of the local stores to price their products a little more keenly, when they realize that residents frequently avoid them and buy from Santiago.

Its your choice where you buy, but this should make price-checking a little easier.

As always, we welcome any feedback on this.
