Trivago for Thinkpads

[wolfgang000]

I had been looking for a used/refurbished ThinkPad to buy for the last week, I had been going back and forth between eBay, Amazon, and Newegg looking for good prices(this will be my first ThinkPad)

So I thong what if I could search through amazon and eBay at the same time and compare prices... just like trivago but for thinkpads. Thus trivago for thinkpads was born(well only the idea for the moment)

https://trivagoforthinkpads.wsalazar.net

For the moment it just a small landing page but I want your opinion If you like the idea you can sign up on the landing page to be notified when the site goes live.

And by the way thanks for reading!

hello wolfgang..
welcome to the forum..

while your first post borders on being spam i'll leave it up.. at least for now..
so you other mods and admins, please leave it there..

your ip comes up as punto fijo which is close enough but i thought the internet in venezuela was, well, banned or illegal or something..
so good going you're getting comms with the outside world..

as for your site idea i THINK such things are already done..
there is an add-on i use, on another computer, for finding the best price on anything i look at.. on amazon..

as for such for thinkpads exclusively (whether new or used) i don't think so.. yet, it seems..
it will be interesting to see what you come up with..

Welcome to the Forum.

Why don't you give us a sample of what your latest search results are?
Usually people here are only looking for one model at a time, not a whole list...
Further limitations: from the number of posts on the different sub-fora, you should be able to deduce
that we here are mostly interested in REAL Thinkpads, and not very much in Yoga, Ideapads, Edge and other El Cheapo consumer stuff.

As a maybe far-fetched and too early suggestion: give people a choice of which Series (and where) they want to (re)search.
In other words, maybe set up separate searches (or give options) for South America, USA/Canada, Europe and Asia/Australia/New Zealand.

PS: you also need to come up with a better name than the copyrighted Trivago.

Thanks, the internet here in venezuela well its not ilegal just very expensive and of poor quality (I'm paying $20 for 2 Mbps while the minimum wage is 2$ per month...), by the way, thanks for the feedback for the moment I am just testing the idea, It is a relatively easy project to do(maybe a couple of weekends) but first I want to be sure there is a market...

Thanks!
1) that's the search for specific models was one the reason I want to make this project, I tested others price comparators and the search customizations are very limiting,
2) the country think was other of my concerns but for the moment the searches are going to be limited to the market US... for the moment of course
3) The name is only temporary while I find a more suitable one( I was thinking something simple like buyathinkpad.com)
4) The site is under construction (I literally start coding this morning) but thanks for the interest I will keep you updated, of course, if the admins don't mark me as spam

After looking around just a tiny bit, it seems that your idea comes a bit (too) late...

No offense meant but I'd say: forget it!
