Yeah, I also wondered how quick would it be to ~~rip off~~ replicate “diskprices.com for X” and took a weekend (ok more) to build https://tvpricesindex.com (Also using HTMX).
TVs are much less of a “commodity” of course, but it’s a nice experiment that I’ll iterate on a bit more with time. Also, first deploy on Railway (was nice enough, definitely compared to Heroku, but they have a way to go), and using other libraries I wanted to learn.
Will probably start grouping models better soon, and offer other filters.
BTW: If you plan to do something like this with PAAPI (Product Advertising API), know that Amazon has the constant axe of banning you if you don’t generate “qualified” sales for 30 days straight.

This would be very useful to me in helping to source CPUs for a +40PB Ceph cluster that I’m building at a University. Could this be extended to include server grade AMD SP3 CPUs? I’m in the market soon for +30 Milan processors.
This is awesome, but would be cool to see a GPU version. Friends keep telling me 2nd market GPUs from crypto or ai is the sweet spot of ~10-20% discount on ebay
Looks just https://diskprices.com/ but for CPUs :-)
Edit: Filtering appears to be fully broken for me, with "Error: Could not retrieve items. Please contact support." (Originally thought it was just filtering on sockets with a '/').
Kind of useless to have a giant list of entries for $10 with 1 bid without any indication of how long's left. Since there's no reason to bid until the last minute, I personally only want to see Buy It Now items or bids ending within the hour.
Also, some items are listed but out of stock, which should be filtered out.
cpubenchmark score would be much more useful than GHz, when comparing CPUs across 10+ years of generations.
It doesn't look like you have EPYCs listed, or Threadripper? (These are some of the best CPU deals on eBay.)
I guess after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 showed up on HN, every hacker with some spare time wanted to replicate diskprices.com for other commodities.
U saw diskprices.com and copied that, didn’t u ;)
I saw this when it was posted yesterday and was sad it didn't make front page, so I'm glad it got revitalized! It also sent me down a fun rabbit hole yesterday when I saw there was a 72 core chip for only $200 listed.. and I was introduced to the byzantine world of Intel's Xeon Phi (which you can buy in coprocessor form for <$50 on eBay).
Every entry just get stuck on "loading..."
Tried disabling adblock, checked devtools which has no failed requests or errors though there were 4 "itemspecifics" requests that all returned 204 with no body
This is great! I would love to see a passmark/$ metric on here as well.
This is only useful for USA residents
I'm another fan of diskprices.com :-)
The Aus version went offline for a while so I built this quickly. The day I launched it came back online haha. Oh well, was a fun experience.
Initially was static html (generated by python) but that was leading to large page sizes, so I transitioned to ag-grid, which worked surprisingly well.
You know what would be helpful is some way to reference when it was released, generation, maybe a cpu bench?
One thing to be aware is that for older CPUs, the limiting factor is often compatible motherboards. The original ones are more likely to have died than CPUs from the same generation, and new ones aren't being made.

Got a 4xx or 5xx error on this (probably important?) URL. Told me to contact support.
Looks awesome! Isn't there one of these for laptops as well?
The Coming Soon columns make it hard to see the two main price and name columns on mobile small screen at the same time. I wish to hide those. But nice idea.
I need this for GPUs.
"Error: cound not retrieve items. Please contact support" immediately after the first click to some chrckbox. Was this even tested?
Very nice! How are you getting the data? eBay API?
Number Of Cores filter immediately 500s.
How are you liking templ? I've played around with it a bit and am not totally sold on it yet.
Hell yeah, includes stuff like zilogs.
If it could tell the difference in socket 2011 v1, v2, v3, and v4, I might use it.
I have great experiences building webapps with Rust and HTMX.
Looks great! Can you please add LGA 4677? Thanks!
It could be useful but currently too broken
It works fine for me, I like it!
Interesting idea (very out of scope):
CPUs go into motherboards which use power supplies and RAM and a storage device to boot and run operating systems/code
This all adds up once plugged in to "at the wall" power pull (basically measured in watts per hour * 24 hours = how many kilowatts a day)
Then, you take how efficient the hardware is at say, a proof-of-work mining algorithm (hashrate)
Then you can sort by which CPUs are most efficient
I've yet to find a database that does this (probably for good reason, mining is pretty dumb)
