I made a price aggregator to find the best PC parts deals across eBay

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…

In plain words

This tool scans PC component listings across multiple eBay markets to find pricing discrepancies and below-market deals. It tracks GPUs, CPUs, RAM, and motherboards across six eBay regions, updates every eight hours, and calculates median prices while accounting for shipping costs to the user's location. Built by someone using PC flipping as a hobby, it helps buyers identify the best deals available for their specific area.

Sold prices, not asking prices, for used GPUs, CPUs, RAM, motherboards and iPhones. Pick your shipping country, see real delivered cost. Free, updated every 8h.

Sold prices, not asking prices, for GPUs, CPUs, RAM, motherboards, PSUs and iPhones. Every listing that actually ships to you, in your currency. Get a heads-up when prices on the parts you want actually drop. Unsubscribe anytime. Sellers ask a median of $1,436 , but completed sales land at $897 across 51 live listings. That's $539 you'd overpay going by asking price alone. Pick parts, check socket / RAM / PSU compatibility, and price the whole build live. Is that CPU, RAM or GPU compatible? Browse any combination with live prices. Compare graphics cards on performance benchmarks and current used-market prices. Value = 3DMark score per dollar (higher is better). Pick any GPU, CPU, RAM kit,…from pcprice.watch

    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…

    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 :)

    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…

    Tech stack: Go + templ + htmx There are some rough edges but this combo is quite refreshing after React. The best thing is that I could omit npm from my stack. Having just a monolith (Go) server greatly simplifies things if you're an indie dev.

    Tetris in a PDF▲1,289

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
