Here is something I have wanted to put together for some time. Working on Brick Classifieds, I realized I had already made a few bits of code that will work well for finding out the value of some of these listings we find on eBay and Craigslist. Is this eBay listing really worth $1799? Go ahead, try out the new tool and find out. I think you will find that it is overpriced!! Use the tool to make people offers on their lots. Send them to the site so they can find out for themselves.
It's Very Simple to Use!!!
I worked it out so that for many of the listings, you can just paste in their list of set numbers and set titles. When you hit the "Process Sets" button, you will see that it will strip out the text and process the set numbers it finds. It will allow you to remove or change listings if some are not correct. It will also identify left over numbers that it can't match to a set. In most cases this could be the numbers that are for quanity or soemthing else. Just ignore and hit the "Get Set Values" button at the bottom.
Here is where you will get all the sets in that lot with their current values and lot total. You can change the condition from "New" to "Used" and also update the quantity of each set. It will automatically change the totals on the fly.
You need to be a member to use this feature, so please log in and go to the tool. Like I mentioned earlier, this could be a tool for negotiating better deals bundles/lots. It's also a good tool to just find out the value on a few sets quickly. Right now it defaults to the US values, but there is a option to change to the other 3 regions to see what the sets are valued at in the UK, EU and AUS
Let me know what you think, any enhancements that may make it better or any bugs you run into. Hopefully you find it usefully. I know I have used it to talk to a few sellers already. A link to this tool can be found in the Tools and Data menu on the main site.
Here is a quick video so that you can see how it works!
