Im building a site and I want to be able to show that my prices are lower than the competitions. I want to show my price and compare it to 4 or 5 other sites. Is there a script or what programming language would I use to do this. Is there any way I can program my site to pull up certain items from another site and have it displayed on my site? The site would be similiar to shopping.com. Please help me.

You might want to compare your prices to MSRP. That way you are always under MSRP, whereas you might be more expensive than another retailer. A comparison engine is complex beast to write. You might get lucky and find an open source thing.
