Any tips for finding the best price on something?

My normal routine consists of:

1) typing the product into Google (often using additional words such as "sale", "best price" etc) and then browsing the resulting sites. Obviously, this is a bit hit and miss and I'm sure I miss the chapest price much of the time.

2) trying price comparsion sites but these tend not to find specific cycling products (maybe I'm using the wrings one's?).

3) e-bay (but not yet bought anything here)

4) Forums like this.

Does anyone have a better method of finding the best price on something?

PS. I'm after the best price on a set of Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL Premium's, if anyone has seen any good deals? Cheapest I've found so far is Ribble Cycles:
