I've seen a couple of sites like this that have done well generating traffic from niche forum banner ads (http://toppppp.com is the one that sprints to mind immediately).

My worry with these types of passive income sites is the upkeep for pricing information. The OP's source looks like he's manually printed the price, and the same with my example except their prices are quite out of date by now. Does anyone have any ideas how best to scrape the price from the 3rd party site?

Yep, I have to manually keep track of the pricing. It's going to be a pain as the site grows. Growing pain I suppose. I don't showcase very many retailers. It wouldn't be difficult to write a simple Python script to fetch the product pages for the retailers I carry the most items from and automatically update the price. I can take care of the rest by hand.
