Hello all, I have managed to pick up a really great domain that would be perfect for a price comparison style site. Say there are a hundred different niche items listed on the site. For each one... ... the lowest buy it new price is shown (crawled prices) ... a fair second hand price is price (average final sale price from eBay) The first part is proving tricky because a lot of the merchants that sell these items have really poor sites. So scraping is proving troublesome. Of course they have no feeds with pricing information. A couple of scraping companies have offered to provide parsed information for me for a penny a page, delivered as a csv file. I don't know that if that is a fair price. So that is the first challenge. For the second I was thinking that there must be a way to extract the final sale price for a keyword on eBay. Then it can be datetime stamped and stored in a local database. The aggregate of which can be used to determine the "fair price". I have had a look at the eBay API... and although I know a bit about programming, it is beyond me. So now you know the situation, I hope a few of you could help with some these questions. Can anyone recommend a content scraping tool? If not, is that penny a page offer a fair price? The eBay final price information, can it be captured? Can you recommend a good dev with experience of the eBay API? I have no language preference for the site at this time, what would you recommend? Many thanks in advance
