    Basically I need a easy way to get prices from a website. Since this is my competition and prices change regularly. Id like to view the product title and price on one page.

    Idk if i need a script or what.

    There is number of solutions, if the website is well structured & coded, I'd probably make a script in VBS, probably with the list of pages/products as an input and it would check them all and save into excel file or whatever file you need - xml? The only issue is the initial list of products - if it's too large, I'd make a script to create that list as well :)

    It's probably like 20 or so items we'll if you wanna help me I may pay if the price is right. Otherwise if you can tell me what I need to ask for in the buy/sell section I'd appreciate it.

    I registered like half an hour ago, so I don't know how it works in here, but I'd gladly help you. I just need the URL of that website and your requirements for the output - just list of products and price? Also some deadline would be nice. I perform some analysis and tell you, how long would it take to do it. Shall we continue in PM? :) ... Btw. I'm going to sleep, it's 2 a.m. here :)
