How do you find small and large businesses with online storefront that we should support? Is there a directory or list somewhere?

How do you price compare at least on some basic level?

Is there something like a better search engine 'shopping' search?

If I were in a hard spot and had to buy from Amazon, do I go to ebay first since some small businesses post there?

There are small businesses on both ebay and amazon. (Both give part of their gross earnings to the PC satans. What I like to do is find the item I want, then search for the item name, or company name, part number, etc and see where else offers it. Pretty often there are competative sellers elsewhere that beat the big sites' prices.

Is there a search engine that gives better results than others when searching by part # or item?

I use Duck but will use startpage, yahoo, and screwgle with a VPN and other anonymising addons. It tales more work but I'd rather spend my money with people who are not (know to be) my enemy. Things like appliance parts are often cheaper from US supply companies than cheap foreign imitations.
