Multi-Item Price Comparison

*** brain cramp *** I though someone did the following feature, but cannot remember who... heck, maybe everyone added this since last I looked...

Do any of the shopping engines have price comparison for a user-defined bundle of products. Like, if I am shopping for a digital camera, a rare type of high-speed memory, lens, case, etc... is there any site that will let me see A) all the places where I can do 1-stop shopping/shipping B) sort by the aggregate price?

I thought some sites even had a comparison option to see the price difference of lowest one-stop pricing vs. the cheapest individual offers for each product... names? links?

Yes, not to long ago there was a very nice post by Brian Smith of Comparison Engines. He did a run down on how well and accurate all of the major comparison shopping engines are.

What is the PriceGrabber "Your Lists"?
This is the closest I know of: PriceGrabber "Your Lists" allows you to add several items to a "watch list" and compare prices for the best deal for if you were buying all your items from mulitple vendors or all from one. This list will automatically add the Bottom line price which is the best price for the item that you have selected. The bottom line price includes the cost of the item as well as tax and shipping charges.

Ahh yes, thanks everyone, I should have guessed PriceGrabber. The "Your Lists" is pretty sweet.

Campus Books (www.campusbooks.com) has been bundling products for years.

That's quite a nifty feature, but, from a development point of view, I can see it being a nightmare! But, obviously PriceGrabber has overcome this issue. Hmmm... actually, maybe not such a nightmare I suppose! ~confused~
