price-check-ebay

A tool that helps finding average price of product sold on ebay

Installation

• Clone this repository
• run npm i
• set your prefix in config.json (default: $)
• set your discord token and ebay clientId in credentials.json
• run node server

Adaptability

This price check bot is geared towards used hardware prices in the UK. You can change location in the ebay.js file.
Remove or adapt the getQueryString, filterWords, addEdgeCases functions in ebay.js as they contain hardware specific boolean search terms for filtering.
(Note: function getSoldItems uses getQueryString(), but you may use query instead of queryString for the keywords if you do not intend to use the filtering functions.)

You can also change various parameters such as between new/used, sort order, etc in ebay.js using the codes available from https://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/finding/CallRef/findCompletedItems.html

Usage

The command is: $check followed by the product name
Example

$check AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

For more popular items, you'll get better results with specificity.
Example

'EVGA RTX 2070 SUPER XC ULTRA' will get better results than 'EVGA RTX 2070'

For rare items, you'll get better results with less specificity.
Example

'Corsair SF450' will get better results than 'Corsair SF450 80+ Gold Modular PSU'

If you believe that there is a significant error or no results when there should be, please DM @AlvieMahmud#9999 with your query, expected results and results you received.

Improvements

• Many parts, specifically surrounding the boxPlot class may benefit from some optimisation and/or a refactor
