Maybe I was wrong, and/or things have improved since then. I might take another look.

I like the idea. It would also be useful for those of us looking for a bargain on an item. Say I want to buy a Nokia N95 for £150 or less. I could use the proposed software to look for N95 handsets (not faceplates, memory or whatever) under a certain price.
