Sure. Yahoo has a page full of them.

I often use the well known Bottom Dollar which is listed there, but you
might check out what Lycos and Excite offer at their portals. Those
are listed in the Yahoo page, as well.

I discovered an interesting shopping agent site the other day. It is
designed for folks that just hate paying sales tax. They collate
retail sites that won't charge you sales tax based on the state in
which you live:

Of a somewhat different purpose, the Priceline.com site can be used to
search the best prices of big ticket items. In this case, YOU tell
Priceline what you want to pay and Priceline searches for a seller to
match your price. This a "name your price" service. Hotel rooms,
cars, home mortgages, airline tickets, long distance telephone and
Priceline is even getting into the grocery business. Priceline should
be bookmarked now for when you will need it later.
