The Spokesman Review compares ClayValet and Mpire.

ClayValet ftw.

Quoted: Does human-aided search find the best deals? .
...Here’s what we found, pitting Mpire.com, which calls itself the Kelley Blue Book of online shopping, vs. ClayValet.com, a new site that says it is an online personal shopping service.

We got another jump of traffic last night when Chris mentioned us on his blog. He talks about us in the video too.

In the mid-90s I used to subscribe to Chris's Lockergnome email newsletter, where he covered the latest shareware and freeware for Windows. Back then we both lived in Des Moines, Iowa. Now he has a popular blog and organizes the Gnomedex conference here in Seattle.

Quoted: I did a lot of research into finding the best price, and came across a website I wanted you to know about.

Quoted: On ClayValet, you can submit up to five free requests per week. ClayValet is a personal shopping service. They can give advice, find you deals, and recommend the best products. Simply tell them what you’re looking for, and they’ll do the work for you.

Audrey faved first. An article about ClayValet in today's Seattle Times tech blog.

Quoted: It's kind of fun and might be useful for complicated product searches that don't work well with automated comparison-shopping services.
