I mean you can't filter the auctions by specific price and date ranges, among other things. I do a lot of conversion of things like "10.5k" to turn them into a standard price like 10500 which goes into the database making it a searchable value. Same for item acronyms like "fbss" and a lot of other stuff.

Its just one additional thing in a list of things I want in an auction tracker. I can already do everything I want because I have a MySQL command prompt where I can enter insane queries that would blow your mind. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's kind of why I stopped developing the front end.. thats just for the public at large. Just be aware there are people out there who can have a list of items auctioned in EC in the last 10 minutes that are being sold at less than their average market value. You can then take an inventory of items you purchased and run it back through the same database to get a list of items you're selling and slightly higher than market prices for all of them.

I want EVERYONE to be able to do this. Not the handful of people who are currently strangling the economy using systems like the one I described.

I will consider my auction tracker sucessful if some newb trying to buy an FBSS for 10k instead of 15k can leave a window open while hunting in some random zone and have that 10k FBSS show up within seconds so they have a chance of buying it before the people who live in EC snatch it up.

Oh and on the flip side.. I want those people who always sell things at much higher prices than normal to have a red name in the auction tracker whenever they sell anything so people understand they are a price gouger. This will all be automated, no personal decisions made, if you always sell things at 50% higher than average you're going to be marked as a greedy seller.
