Anyway.. Its a work in progress.. Im surrounded by A4 paper with database notes on.. and random peices of code.. It will be a hard one to pull through.. but.. lets see if i havent got something working sometime tomorrow… or… next week.. :-p
wow. an offline auction site. i really like this as now people will be able to get a much clearer veiw of worth.
of course…how are you going to intergate it into Pricefinder? i mean, Pricefinder currently polls the in game auction to get to average markup info. now, will it poll both?
what if i would like to see a comparison? or just the PERC auction? or just the in game?
anyway… get a free account on Pricefinder and the auction site.. If you can come up with a name for the auction thingy we are going to use… Imagine away
