I would like a script for a UNIX(MySQL, PHP) server that performs that following duties:
-Display craigslist "FOR SALE" results for a specified City with image, Ebay "completed items" price, and Amazon price if available.
-The script would need to grab the pricing information(for comparison) from within the post first than from the title second if post price is not available.
-The script would need to scan for the words,new, used, like-new in the craigslist Ad and subsequently find either new, used, like-new in the ebay "completed items with at least 1 bid".
-The script would allow for email alerts for a items which meet a specified price difference in the craiglist vs. ebay price.
-Each craigslist result title, price, ebay price(High and Low) w/ link to results, amazon price with link, craigslist picture, would all need to be in a single row.
Estimation is approx with number of systems involved and manpower required to complete this task. We can negotiate it later as per the detail study of the system.
Hello,
I have similar functionality implemented for ebay auctions using ebay api. Implementation is done on Ruby on Rails and runs on Linux.
Application pulls ebays auctions, process then (filters) and stores them in database.
It is possible to configure existing application for your needs quickly.
