24 alternatives to Visualize eBay laptops in bulk with laptopscout

A bit late in the new diskprices-like website trend, but here's my contribution to the ecosystem. The goal here is to get an instant comparison of the laptops on ebay, using mostly 3 metrics of now: CPU benchmark rank, GPU benchmark rank, and price, without having to scroll through the item description or google the PC model. At the moment there are some parsing bugs, and some components that aren't parsed yet. I also quickly run into the ebay rate limit, making it hard to maintain an hour-by-hour listing. Curious to know what you guys think!

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Visualize eBay laptops in bulk with laptopscout launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Howdy! Keeping with the trend of being influenced by https://diskprices.com, I wanted to make a resource for GPUs on eBay that also take into account a performance metric I tend to look at when checking GPUs. It's still a work in progress, but it's at a state where I think some of HN might find it useful! There are a few things that I have planned to add in the coming day(s): 1. Filters for compatible slots and connectors 2. Expand for different eBay regions, rather than just US focus Let me know if you have any questions or want more / different filters on the page or if I…

    Started PC flipping as a hobby (buying used parts, building PCs, and selling them for a small profit). Found that focusing on used parts on eBay gives the best margins - like finding a GPU 20% below market, pairing it with other deals, and selling the complete build locally. I discovered that eBay marketplaces (.com, .de, .co.uk etc.) often have different prices for the same items! Or just completely different items. So I built an eBay price scanner for PC components. It scans listings across different Ebay markets, calculates median prices, and flags anything selling below market (including…

    I was inspired by this discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 about diskprices.com last month, and decided to go ahead and make a site for RAM. It's my first time building anything like this! Any tips / suggestions / calls for complete overhaul are welcome :)

    In the responses to Low Cost Mini PCs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41389931), I saw some requests for a similar site but for laptops. To improve on existing tools like https://pcpartpicker.com/products/laptop/, I added PassMark scores (with a lot of regex!) and live prices from Amazon. I also added panel types and refresh rates, and sorted results by a weighted rating, which takes the number of reviews into account. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks! P.S: you can sort by multiple columns using ctrl+click (thanks to…

    Hey HN. I made a site[0] to browse disk prices by $/TB on eBay similar to labgopher[1]. The other diskprices[2] site only uses data from Amazon. - https://unli.xyz/diskprices/ - https://labgopher.com/ - https://diskprices.com/

    I built a small weekend project to help track RAM prices, since DDR3/DDR4/DDR5 costs have suddenly jumped recently and I was struggling to find good deals for my NAS build. RamScout scans eBay (UK/US) and ranks RAM listings by price per GB, with filters for type, capacity, speed, condition, etc. It’s a simple MVP — no frills, no accounts, no ads — just a fast way to spot unusually cheap listings. Would appreciate any feedback, especially on performance, UI, and whether expanding to more regions/vendors would be useful. Thanks!

    I've made a GPU comparison site: https://gpu-prices.com/US/ Yes, there was one yesterday - I got beaten to it. This one is different in that I've put a lot of work into categorisation, so you can filter down quite precisely. For example, VRAM-per-dollar, limiting to Nvidia, and a minimum performance score allow you to find good ML GPUs. It currently supports Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The tech stack is Python for data pull and static site generation then Cloudflare Pages for actually serving the site. It updates three times a day, but I could increase…

    The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have a number of Mini PCs for my "homelab" (TrueNAS, piHole, Plex, basic stuff). It uses Gemini to extract specs from listings (since they're not often strongly categorized). Quick blog post here: https://luke.zip/posts/pareto-pcs/

    Hey everyone! My name is Toutoulliou, and I’m a beginner developer passionate about building websites. To practice and improve my skills, I decided to take on a real-world project: a price comparison tool for tech products like SSDs, HDDs, NAS devices, Micro SD cards, USB drives, and more. I used Django for the backend, TailwindCSS and Flowbite for the design, and even managed the deployment myself using Docker. It was a real challenge, but so rewarding! My website pulls data from eBay and AliExpress APIs to bring you the best deals on the market. And here’s some exciting news: integration…
