Wow, that sounds really cool!
If I can make a suggestion... if the results could also spit out a graph of
value vs time (ie, show when it sold for how much) for all data points, that
would be incredibly useful. I bet you'd see definite cycles, where a bunch of
sales of a particular set on eBay in a short time drove down the price, then it
spikes back up after being absent for a while...
But more importantly it would allow you to see the highest and lowest prices,
and chart the most recent trend, up or down... that would give you a really
clear idea of what you could expect from eBay.
Good luck! I think this would be a really useful tool, and a great addition to
the community.
