PhoneLover94 might not even have been aware that Google Product Search existed - in countries where it is not available, Google does not list it as a service in the menus. If I didn't read US tech blogs or hadn't lived in the United States, I probably would not know that it exists. Plus, Google only offers Product Search for three countries - the US, the UK and Germany. Unlike say, eBay, which is practically everywhere. I don't think he was lazy, to give him the benefit of the doubt it might just not have occurred to him such a service even existed.
(edit) I remember one time in NYC my friend and I were chatting about music, and it went like:
Me: yea, that's great I was so excited when I picked it up from HMV ...
Friend: What the .... is HMV?
Me: Wait, you didn't know about HMV!? Do they not have one here?
Friend. No, why?
Me: ugh... I thought they had it everywhere.
So it might be a big name music store in the UK, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan (not anymore lol), but sometimes, who knows? Why sweat it?
