For $2 you get a "search service"? I imagine that if I ask your service to search for where to buy generic boardgame pieces, for example, I'll get back the first 5 results for the Google search for "where to buy generic boardgame pieces". Isn't that the case? If you're going to do a better service than Google than it will take too much time and $2 isn't worth it.

Research, more than "search". I'm doing higher quality with a low price point to get started and validate the product. If it's impossible to maintain the high quality and low pricing I'll deal with that when I cross that bridge! Thanks fro the feedback though.

I think the fact that an actual person will do the searching for you has a more genuine appeal as opposed to some machine doing the search for you.

You can automate everything, and there are a lot of automated services. But a genuine human interacting has a lot of value to me.
