I've missed out on an awesome computer that I could use for a project because figuring out value took too long. Users paste a listing and receive a value grade, dated component estimates and a shareable report. AI reads the listing but my custom built price engine determines the grade (updated every day). Self financed and working now. Looking for feedback re: scoring, interface, and if its helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpft--x3WlI

would love to see support for B&H as a store, integrated graphics as a gpu option, and the intel wildcat lake series of chips

i now fully understand your comment lmao. I think integrated gpu based PC support will be easy to add. I will give it a shot and test this week.

What would be cool is a delegate to agent to use your own browser to find parts on eBay. Every time I build a new rig I always save a couple hundred with used gear.

Believe it or not this is one of the goals. An agent finding actual offers, with condition and shipping taken into account, could save a lot of manual searching. Right now PDC starts with a complete computer listing and checks its asking price. Helping someone source the parts for their own build would be a useful next step, especially with used gear. I’d want the buyer to be able to inspect the listings and sellers before purchasing.

Btw, some components will not be in the database on occasion but you can suggest them to be added. First priority for us was to add "current" PC hardware classes.

Site open internationally. Check supported US retailer links from anywhere. Photos and pasted text require a US connection. Estimates use US market prices.

We’ve added a note on the homepage clarifying that new checks are currently available to US visitors and use US retailer listings and market prices

I can't seem to get any further. You're requiring my ip address itself to be based in the US?

I thought about building this a long time ago. Can you add used prices as well - perhaps source from ebay, craigslist, facebook marketplace.
adlep 3 days ago|
Would love to add FB marketplace but it won't happen without serious discussions about api access. Price checks have to stay automated. I'd love to reach out someone at Meta about access.

It doesn’t work, I put some specs and a price and I get error
> New photo and listing checks are currently available in the United States.

Sorry - if you're outside US: we will get to you soon. Where are you located at? The pricing api has limits - for now. With use I will be able to afford in more credits.

This is one of the most vibeslopped looking websites I've ever seen. Could be created in 5 seconds by claude. I have doubts about the rest of the website if it chooses to present itself like this

The vibeslopped HN reply spam is a nice touch as well. What a terrible time to know how to read.

is there a way to find good deals other people have checked? seems like a nice data play if so and you could do affiliate links to monetize on some. I don't think people would mind you sharing the deals they found (could be a "share with community" checkbox too).
adlep 3 days ago||
People can share individual reports today; there isn’t a searchable community feed yet. We are are considering a feed of recent good-value listings, with dates and availability checks so it stays useful (so a next step). Affiliate links are our next step possible revenue source. The thing is that I'll have to see use and start working with more data in order to plan next steps. We will have discord soon.
