Bountii is a price comparison search engine that launched late last year, along with some funding from Y Combinator. As far as price comparison search engines go, Bountii not only restricts the number of retailers it crawls, but then digs deeper into the pricing details in order to provide users with more value than similar sites.

Though still remaining selective about the retailers it crawls, Bountii has in fact tripled the number of stores for the pricing information it displays. Bountii started out by letting you search and compare prices on electronics, but now also searches appliances as well. Appliance search tends to have greater appeal and necessity in a highly localized market, so I do wonder if Bountii will be looking more towards advertising on this end.

Whatever the case may be, any user hoping to earn some money from Bountii itself now ha an opportunity to do so, by finding prices for items that are lower than what Bountii already provides. It's an age-old tactic that gets the consumer to help out with some of the research and dirty work, but it's a method that still works well, especially if the consumer is gettin paid to help out.
