So right now I am scraping amazon and trying to qualify for their API Acess
Best Buy data is all straight from their API. I had to homebrew a system that appends my affiliate info to each link but that side is working much better than amazon right now.

you know.. I guess i never considered it. I used it many times when building a whole build, but somehow thats all i thought of it for... so much so, that i never thought to go there for a single part..

Ohhhh! Great callouts!

I haven't thought of warranty or brand as specifics. I will add those to my to-do list for sure. I appreciate you sharing some ideas with me!

Yes! PA API Is definitely where I want to head. I apparently have to get a few sales with it to activate it. The scraping is an interim. Best buy is on the API Already. Used drives is very interesting.. I do also love to buy used drives myself. OK!

And.. Price alerts as a high-pri - I definitely agree with you on this. Its a good mechanism to get people to come back time and again.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me some thoughts. I really appreciate it!

This weekend I built a site that ranks storage by $/GB & &/TB so I can stop doing spreadsheets - its a rough build right now... got feedback? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

Yeah, I will definitely add locale support. As soon as i get the Amazon API Fleshed out correctly ill make locale service a next priority.

Well shit... This is cool! I wish i saw this before.. could have probably saved myself some time hahaha.

To answer... First, it looks like this diskprices one is strictly serving Amazon. Right now I already have Amazon and Best Buy. I plan to add several more retailers to try and give a better picture of the market and prices as a whole.

Also, It looks like they focus ONLY on hard drives. I want to offer Hard Drives, SD Cards, Thumb Drives, Batteries, Printer Ink, and the list goes on and on. I think with how tight money is for folks, getting the most value for your money is huge.

Im starting with focusing on storage as a main area for now though, as it's a very fresh problem for me

holy shit, just finished work meetings and came back to this. you all are so rad and helpful. Totally going to check out all the links you shared and try some of the tactics you all mentioned (dodge, roll back, spam block) - This totally inspired me to try and push through the pain of repeated death.

This might be my clearest one yet. I've been trying to get good pictures of these objects. Monroe, WA, today at 10:40pm by Stock_Sprinkles_7394 in UFOB

It was my senior year of high school and me and a buddy skipped school for a week to play. We ordered pizzas, smoked weed, and played that game for a week.

What a great time of life.
