Ebay Synth Tracking Blog?

Title link takes you to a Circuit Bent Item tracker for Ebay set up by Circuit Master of GetLoFi. The cool thing about it is that it saves off the media (images and samples) to his server. These are then permanently accessible via the blog posts. I asked him how difficult it would be to set up a synth version. As expected it would not be difficult at all - he just finished a prototype. What do you think? Personally I think it's a great idea for a number of reasons. One it saves the most interesting bits for posterity, two it's kind of cool having a repository for everything synth on Ebay, and three it brings the items to you, making it easier to track what's coming up. On the bad side? Well, for those rare occasions where you might be lucky enough to be the only person to catch a good deal... Well those days would probably be over. The tool would post any item with the word "synth" on Ebay. Please feel free to post your comments. Great idea, sucks, or who cares... Sorry Doktor Future. : )

  1. Brilliant idea... would be cool if the final bid price is also recorded

  2. I think it's a bad idea. Ebay's done enough to destroy the day of the good deal, why help it? Not only that, but there's a lot of shill bidding, auction tampering of other kinds and non-paying bids that contribute to inflatation even though they shouldn't. I think it's better to leave this one alone.

To reduce spam, comments for posts older than one week are not displayed until approved, usually same day. Do not insult people. For items for sale, do not ask if it is still available. Check the auction link and search for the item. Auctions are from various sellers and expire over time. Posts remain for the pics and historical purposes. This site is meant to be a daily snapshot of some of what was out there in the world of synths.
