No, I have a PocketPC, but that shouldn't matter. What we would want
to make is either a spreadsheet or html pageset with information. Then
it could read by anyone. If someone has the data in some form, I can
extract it and make the final report. It should include the set number,
year of release, set name, list price, and "lowest price."

I'd LOVE to work on this idea with others maybe...It could be something • that
could be downloaded once, or maybe using avant go it could be somethign • that
could be downloaded and updated thru a web page...that way, you could
connect, and update it with the latest suggested retail price of a kit. • Then
you could just carry around that list and use it in the store to look up
averge prices for kits...

I dunno, sounds cool to me, and I'd love to try and figure out a way to • do

Downloading the LUGNET set list into a PocketPC is pretty simple.  In fact,
here is a dump of the LEGO set list from LUGNET as an Excel document that I
dragged to my iPAQ.

The Excel data was extracted from here:
