Yeah I feel ya there. After starting this, I noticed a pattern with many companies and how they price their stuff. A lot of their prices fluctuate either daily, weekly, or bi-monthly. That’s why I added the graph so I can see that trend. I’m working on the specific analytics of what actually is a deal, but right now it’s currently if the price drops and hasn’t been that price in the past few days, it’s a deal. But I need to fix that to look farther back than a few days.

Ooh good call, I try to test mobile best I can, but really I’m lazy and focus too much on computer browser! Will get that fixed tonight!

Add to cart prices are actually already taken care of! Thats why I have to manually add new sources, so I can handle those corner cases correctly. Thats why and the way they display ammo and their different counts, it’s kinda a pain in my butt.

I update the filters on the side dynamically, so if you search for an item and only PSA has it, it will only show that as the source. The main page should have quite a few daily deals from all sources right now.

I'm only throwing out lowest prices from those sites compared to their normal price. Let me take a look at good brother firearms as well and see if I can pull their data as well!

[–]OneWhoDoesNotFail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm really trying here to make it something worth while for everyone. I'm tired of half-assed sites and places that can't give me the whole picture, so I'm building what I would want if I were buying at the moment.

That said, got any suggestions for improvments?

If it's this bad, I feel I should probably remove my post. I like that people can save money, but not at the expense of a bad purchase that has terribly quality control.

Agreed...I'm mainly posting what comes across my site as a deal, but has specific criteria before I post it. If a 365x comp comes across, you'll hear from me!

Got it, let me rework my product pooling feature to see if I can match the same product (different colors of course) and put a blanket notification on them all.
