We are a group of computer and programming enthusiasts who are unhappy with the changes to a previous price indexing website much like this one. Instead of whinging about it, we decided to create our own alternative to it, and add some features that the original should have had.

This site is made by the community for the community. If you have any feedback, suggestions or feature requests please email us at team@howmuchisit.co.nz or visit the forums.

Thanks for visiting, hang around :)

This site uses small programs called robots (or spiders, or scrapers). There is a different scraper for each computer store listed with us and each night they are released onto the interwebs to look for new products or price changes.
