New Auction searching and tracking website: bid-brain.com

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

Thomas - If you go to the Search page and uncheck the Search eBay listing options you won't get any eBay listings. It will then turn off eBay searching for the rest of the session or until you turn it back on. Below is an example of a search that will only return hits with 1952 topps in the title or description of Auction house listings. Unfortunately as I was checking my explanation I found a problem with the database configuration that has caused description searching to fail. I have removed description searching temporarily, and now know what I will be doing for Saturday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Thomas, glad you found it helpful.

Full description searching is now up again. Thank you for asking the question as it forced me to reconfigure the search which is now faster for both title and description searching.

WOW! This is awesome....thanks for your hard work Dan!

edited to add: Will you be adding Hunt Auctions?

Dan,

You've put a lot of work into this......very nice. I am having difficulty using my iPad for searches. The search comes up quickly with results and then disappears after a half second. This happens even when logged in.

I like your site...nice.

There are a number of auction houses that I would like to include, Hunt Auctions being among them. In general for any auction houses that are not tracked mention them to me, but more importantly the auction house as they want customers telling them they need it, not just me.

As auction houses are added and auctions go live I update the facebook page so that is an easy place to monitor news.

trying it for a special item, and excluding any Ebay junk for sure.

Looks great! Simple and straightforward, and seemed to work well for the few searches I tested out.

Am I correct in assuming that as new auction houses are added, any existing saved searches will be extended to those as well?

Hi Lance,

Yes, whenever a new auction house that is tracked starts an auction your search will be run against the lots and the hits sent to you. It will work the same way with auction houses that are added.
