I'm not aware of any of the high street retailers that will price match

a web based retailer's price. They would be selling the item at a loss.

Having done the research around where I am based I know this for fact.

Obviously this may vary around the country... anyone know of any

retailer stupid enough to do this?

Well since we launched the service on Friday we've already received more

than three hundred requests and a resonable percentage of these have

turned into sales. I'm not going to disclose what this percentage is,

but let's just say it's significantly more than we get out of banner

advertising.
