Price Tweet is an easy and convinient way to compare book and DVDs prices anywhere. Follow Booksprice on Twitter and get yourself updated via SMS, IM or your favorite twitter client. Booksprice offers two practical twitter usages:
Find the lowest prices while shopping in brick-and-mortar stores using a Twitter Direct Message
:
Send a direct message to Booksprice with the ISBN or the UPC code of the book or dvd that you are interested in. From your mobile: send sms to twitter (40404) using the following format:
d booksprice ISBN/UPC
(example: d booksprice 080537146X)
A reply from Booksprice will be sent directly showing the current lowest price for New & Used items with the names of the stores that are offering them. These prices include shipping to the US, for example:
'Biology': New 43.99 Half.com. Used 16.97 Half.com
*Please notice that the prices sent on the direct messages reflect the prices at the time when the search is requested and they may vary since then. Though our Direct Price Message is for free, standard text messaging and other rates from your wireless provider still apply.
