This is good start, i guess to make it more helpful, you can also do a pre configured builds so folks who just want to check the overal price can do that.

Also , why not do it for more things? like cellphones are hot on ebay, and i would love to use this kinda of a tool

Thanks for your feedback!

Actually I've thought of that as well, but my main concern is that it's a bit difficult to find out median prices for "non-standardized" items, and I want to offer a price comparison that is meaningful for users. So cellphones are possible, but prebuilts could be trickier. It would be an interesting challenge to tackle eventually, if eBay offers me more API calls than they currently offer.
