Description

I want a simple program written which reads in UPC numbers of a product from a text file, then does a search on the following sites:
www.ebay.com (selects lowest buy now for shipping+product)
www.buy.com (selects lowest buy now for shipping+product)
www.barnesandnoble.com (selects the price for the product)
www.borders.com (selects the price for the product)
www.half.com (selects lowest buy now price shipping+product)
www.amazon.com (selects lowest NEW buy now price shipping+product)
www.walmart.com (selects lowest buy now price shipping+product)
www.dvdplanet.com (selects lowest buy now price shipping+product)

It should grab the price, shipping, upc, and site name and write it out to a file in the format below:
'site','upc','price','shipping'

The budget for this project is $50 - $100 and I need a quick turn around.
