Been using this tool I built for a while and thought other people might find it usefull. It scans MTG ebay auctions about to end and compares the current bid price to the average sale price. And thus, helps you find a deal. Give it a try and let me know if you like it.

yeah, but they just barely pay for servers to be online. eBay is terrible when it comes to affiliate networks. 5cents per actual bid placed on an item, and clicks don't count. In all, it comes to about $9 per month.

Like I said in my original post, this is just a tool I use and I thought other people might find it useful. Totally up to you if you want to use it.

Who cares? It's a neat idea and I kinda like it.

How dare someone make money off an innovative idea coupled with time and hard work AND give it to others to use for free!

For shame,

I'd scold you more but I have to get back to my workers paradise, all praise the Dear Leader!

If I had the know-how I'd make a sniping program that snipes auctions with one second left.

Then I'd make a program that somehow turns buy-it-nows into regular auctions.

And then I'd make something that lets me slap people in the face across the internet.

I can't. If I release this technology, everyone will use it on me.

I like it! Is there a more comprehensive version that you can sort by %below or by deal size?

Interesting. Does this calculate shipping in the final total when estimating current value?

Edit: I just noticed the 2nd column. Very nice indeed.
