yes, yes, YES - please!!
Incidently, I'm already using peeron for a VB program I have written for
inventory management on my Brickbay store. Part of the functionality is for
when I buy multiple copies of sets parting and selling. It allows me to
enter how many of a set I have purchased and will automatically produce a
brickbay upload compatible XML document, detailing the entire inventory,
showing how many of which part in which color is in there. This cuts down
time entering items immensely, but the development of it was a little more
interesting than it needed to be if you had already had XML versions of
inventory available.
Basically;
My application connects to the correct inventory page on peeron, and then it
essentially uses this information to populate a datagrid showing how many of
each part in which ever color.
Clicking each item within the datagrid shows me the selling history on
brickbay for that item and allows me to make an informed decision on the
selling price. More functionality allows me to manually override anything,
such as adding more parts or removing the items from the inventory file I
want to keep.
Currently to do this, I have to have an embedded web browser in my app which
loads the correct webpage and then scans the HTML source. This looks for the
correct places for the information required, which is then converted into
XML for use by my app. If you were able to offer XML inventories for each
set, then it would make for a more slicker design to my program.
