    Wow, this is super helpful. Bookmarked.

    Wish I had found it earlier.

    Thanks

    Very useful. As in daily use by me. I know you did this a while ago @greengnome, but it deserves another thank you.

    Yeah, I used this multiple times a day when I was on the hunt for PM-3's. Genius.

    I use it enough that I've stopped visiting the classifieds on HF altogether - great tool and thank you for this.

    Thanks guys!

    I don't blame you, until they actually implement a new design, it's hard to search for things.

    Adding my voice to the chorus of thanks. I hope HF doesn’t shut down your app.

    This website/app is utterly genius. Don't have to bother actually visiting HF anymore lol. Thank you!

    Got some holiday coming up. Thinking about improving/redoing some stuff. Learnt a lot over the past couple of months while I was working on my other website for modular synth gear (I've got some serious G.A.S ).

    To Do list:
    - Pictures?
    - Clean up non working links
    - Make it more mobile friendly

    How expensive would it be to make alerts update more frequently? Right now, in-demand items at favorable prices sell within hours, but alerts only go out about once a day. Obviously don’t do anything that might get your app’s scraper blocked on HF.

    Hmm, I'll have to check how taxing it is for my small server. How frequently would you want it?

    Let's say... at least four times a day? Hourly would be ideal, but I understand that's probably too much.

    Just wanted to say thank you again for the awesome search engine site. Finally snagged an old school set of rs1’s that were super low priced and wouldn’t have found them trying to go through the mess of for sale section and it’s ugly formatting lol.

    @greengnome I was wondering before, but I would like to ask, is there a special formula to convert USD, EUR,... when choosing a price range with a specific currency checked? It is not a problem (and if it is, it is one I will gladly ignore for such an astonishing helper!).

    If I choose a range of 500-1000€, then it is 500-1000 of whatever currency? I noticed that in this range I would i.e. get an ad asking 999GBP, which is roughly 1110€.

    Have been looking in at Devbrada daily, but now I cannot access the site. Has it been discontinued or moved?

    OP hasn't been here since 2021 according to his profile, wonder if he's aware of it.

    He's been on head-fi recently and I just sent him a message about the site.

    If he gets it back up and running, we should chip in with donations to keep the lights on. If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

    Did anyone hear from the owner of devbrada? I used this tool constantly for entertainment and actual intent to purchase, so I'm more than willing to chip in to bring it back up.
