Furthermore, what is to stop them from selling out to advertising companies if it got popular? This seems like an obvious flaw they never solved...

Stores often try and sell things as cheap as possible, so being able to beat this is going to be difficult, especially against the likes of amazon. There is a reason they set those prices!

There is a company in Australia called bing lee (http://www.binglee.com.au) that allows you to do this. You can either barter in store or via their chat on their website.

I don't see this idea being successful easily. Driving people to your site and making them interact with you would be difficult. I personally couldn't bother with such a site, too much effort. I'd rather see whatever is cheapest on a few different sites and go from there.

Where the passwords at? Would make a good common passwords list for security testing.

EDIT: Not seeing the password list online, and below someone mentioned it showed an old password for them, so thinking someone is making this up.
