Hi everyone, I'm excited to share my new tool, Auctionista, with the Hacker News community.

Every so often, somebody will post an item for sale on eBay with a buy it now price which is far less than the item is worth. These items normally get snapped up straight away, but if you're quick, then you can get some great bargains. Auctionista lets you set up saved searches which notify you immediately by email.

I built this tool originally for myself - I buy a lot of old film cameras on eBay and I've managed to get some great deals, such as a Nikon F80 for £20 and a Canon Sure Shot for £4.75.

I'm now releasing Auctionista commercially, in the hopes that it can help other eBay users get some great deals, too.

Yep sure - you can upgrade at the pre-order rate.

E.g. if you pre order the basic package at $49 but later upgrade to the complete plan, the additional cost would just be $26

Hi, I just launched Launchy.xyz. Its an automated service that auto submits your startup to up to 80 startup directories, giving your startup exposure, early traction and saving you a LOT of time vs manual submission.

After submission, you can monitor your listings from one central dashboard, making it easy to keep an eye on everything.

Thanks for looking,

Chris

Hi, I am currently looking for beta users for a new tool that converts blog posts and news articles into podcasts using TTS, meaning that people who don't have time to read an article can listen to it as a podcast instead.
