eBay Webscraping Tool

The developement of this webscraping tool depends on archive API files provded by eBay.com. We are able to trace eBay transactions involving used hard drives, determining the bid prices, the eventual purchase price, the bidder information, and tag the winner of the auction. We plan to collect months of data with this program and store it in a database to conduct statistical analysis on during the summer of 2006.
