PicClick: Visual browser for ebay and Amazon
PicClick is a tool that lets you browse eBay and Amazon product listings by sifting through images rather than text based descriptions. The web app was developed by Ryan Sit, the same guy who brought us ListPic, a visual browser for Oodle classifieds.
The new site works reasonably well. You can click on eBay or Amazon and then pick a category to start looking through images. Drag the slider bar at the top right of the screen if you want to make the images larger or smaller. And you can drag your mouse over an image for more details including the price. Clicking an image will take you to the product page.
You can also search for items and set a minimum or maximum price or limit your search by zip code. Those features only work for eBay searches though, not for Amazon. And some of the Amazon prices are a bit inaccurate. For example, when I searched for Amazon MP3 downloads, every song and album had a $0 price tag. I figured maybe there was a huge sale/promotion going on, but when I clicked through to Amazon, the real prices showed up.
