The problem it solves

You want to track prices or details across product listings, but copying information from each page by hand is slow and error-prone, especially if you're monitoring several items regularly. Keeping the data organized in one place adds even more work.

Who it fits

Sellers, resellers, or researchers tracking product listings and prices.

How it works

  1. You submit a listing URL through a simple form
  2. The system extracts structured details like title, price, and condition
  3. It checks whether the extraction succeeded
  4. Successful results are added as a new row in Google Sheets
What you get

Listings tracked without retyping a single price

Give it an eBay listing and watch the price, condition, and details land in your spreadsheet ready for comparison, no retyping required.

What you get

A new row in Google Sheets with the extracted product title, price, description, seller, and condition.

What you need

A BitBuffet API key and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
