Well... looks like someone found a way to use bzsrch plugin for commercial use. Not that I haven't had that idea yet (for private purpose of course)

i had that idea too. something like eqprices.com, only using recent bazaar data for the price points, sorting the prices by server, and making the site free.

i'm too lazy to accomplish anything though, so I didnt.

SOE should be thanking us for keeping their game interesting.

Unless they price it REALLY low, the pool of customers is going to be tiny, meaning they won't be able to cover their overhead. As a free attention-grabber to a fan site (like EQTraders) it's really nice, as a standalone pay service, I doubt it a lot. For one thing, the bulk plat/item buyers (like Yantis) will just duplicate the functionality on their own machines (or at best, just buy one account and abuse it). Nice idea, but I'm dubious about it's future.
