About
Price Avatar is a tool that was designed to help the everyday consumer shop smarter. This product allows a customer to compare products from a variety of vendors to make the best decision when purchasing a certain product. The inspiration for this tool comes from the use of differnet other tools that can be found on the Internet. All of those products provide a couple of aspects of a product but do not provide the complete picture. This tool hopes to bring elements of each tool into one big product.
The "Guess the Price!" game was inspired from seeing all of the low prices on eBay. Guess the Price! was created to let people 'learn' about how low prices can get for specific products (regardless of price, of course). Although there is little educational value in this game, it was designed to be a fun "time-waster" game.
