Throw-away ticketing search engine
Hi,
I have recently found the need to buy round trip international tickets and throw away the returns because they are cheaper than one-ways. I fly around the world a lot and it is cheap to buy this way (I know this is a violation of contract of carriage, by the way, so we don't need to talk about that.)
Recently I am aware of the site that offers searching for hidden-city tickets, but is there any site/search that can be used for buying round-trips and throwing away the return?
That is, you can easily optimize the cost by fixing the outbound dates but changing the return date to be on the cheapest date/fare possible. In addition, I have found that playing with open-jaw and different routings on the returns can further optimize pricing. This seems ripe for a searching service! Are there any out there?!

You could use ITA matrix and select "see calendar of lowest fares" to get a pretty good idea.
