In your original business model you wanted to understand the price of everything. In what ways did the problem of a lack of information on the demand side come up? That is, it is easy to scrape the price in many markets (supply side), but what kinds of conversations came up within your team about the lack of information on how many units were actually sold at a posted price?
By the way, glad to see you guys were able to make a business out of crawling. I've landed a handful of freelance gigs since leaving grad school based on scraping data for clients, but never tried to expand it to anything beyond consulting projects.
