I happen to be the creator as well, so feel free to ask me any question you may have. Tech, business, traffic or anything.

How does this work for people living say in Sri Lanka (me)? What do I do with the shipping costs that would usually be astronomical? Or is this not feasible for someone living here? Or am I just not getting something?<p>Thanks :). Also, kudos on this. Seems like a pretty sweet idea if it takes off.

I like this a lot. I thought about doing something similar for used cell phones, where you could find price discrepancies between Craigslist, eBay, Amazon, and some others.

why not use book scouter to get the best buyback&#x2F;sell price, and bigwords.com to get the lowest buy price?

why not just do this trade yourself and keep all the money?
