Gazaro saves you time and money by compiling bargains from online retailers and comparing them against others, returning an easy-to-digest score on just how good a deal you might get.

The better the deal compared to other retailers, the higher the deal score Gazaro assigns. The site is very electronics-oriented right now, with the majority of deals categories like televisions, computers, video cameras, and so on. One of the nicer aspects of using Gazaro to hunt for deals is that the price you see is the no-effort-involved price—no rebates, smooth-talking, or animal sacrifices required. Gazaro just compiles the prices from the company sites without factoring in rebates or your-mileage-may-vary tricks.

One novel feature is a graph displaying the historical pricing trends for the item you're looking at. The television pictured above has the graph shown to the right, where you can see spikes in the price that nearly put the television nearly back up to the MSRP.
