How to find competition bid prices

[croni]

Hi guys, are there ways other than using google's keyword tool to find out what my adwords competition pays per click for a certain keyword?

I would like to find out how low my cpc for a keyword can possibly get, given that I have a super ad CTR and landing page quality score to guestimate whether I'll ever stand a chance to set up a profitable campaign...

You might want to check out GoogSpy or SpyFu. They offer up competative data on bids and whatnot for free, though it can be quite dated (as of this they're a couple months behind).

Also, make sure you really do have a solid Quality Score and you're not just trilled to see the word "Great" in that column. Google will lower your minimum bid as your QS gets higher. If it isn't down to $0.01, you can improve your quality. If it is, then you can tell what your best case CPC is, because you're paying it.
