Default Trying to create a list of prices from a web page

I haven't written an excel macro since the early days of macros. With that said I am trying to look up and update a number of prices from lumber retailers online and then post to an excel spreadsheet. I can probably fumble my way through creating a loop, but I do not know how to go about passing a part number to the search routine on the various sites. McCoys.com makes this even more difficult as I was hoping to use concatenate the text of the string using a part number.

So if I search for McCoy's Part #: 010718 I will get a web address of

http://shop.mccoys.com/building-mate...d-lumber/p.153

This does not help me locate the next item which may be concrete of something other then the directory tree layout of the URL.

Thus is there a way to use VBA to feed the search function of the page to return just the value of the model numbers that I can seed from a spreadsheet?

Any help to get me started is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
