Comment on Show HN: I made a site that calculates the market price of items on ebay

Comments

Suggestion: You should be able to exclude certain data items from the calculation, then recalculate (check box for exclude next to the raw data item or something). I just did a search for "fender aerodyne bass guitar" and the lowest price that came up was $249.99, though that turned out to be only the neck of a bass "2007 Fender Aerodyne JAZZ BASS NECK Tuners Bass Guitar Black Headstock".

That's a good idea. I'm planning to build a pricing filter slider on the results page because it seems most people have a rough idea how much an item is worth.

Your problem was the reason why I filtered out results below $100. There's just too much junk below that range like "Fender Bass HELLO KITTY STRAP". Eventually I'll have to think of a way to algorithmically exclude those results.

Thanks for the suggestion.
