Sounds like you're starting with a manageable but potentially useful site. You've researched the niche a little and it sound like there could be a market. That's a good start.
One suggestion - why not scrape or take some sort of feed (API/RSS available?) from the vendor's sites instead of relying on them updating your DB. It seems to me that relying on the input of any except the cheapest vendor might be a little unrealistic.
Oh yeah, best of luck!
- ritonlajoie 17y agoHey thanks for your reply, I thought about taking some RSS feed but I got over two big obstacles: - most of the sites will provide only 10/15 rss items - I really need specific informations about the products, like their unique Id on their side for example. Most of the time the rss feeds won't include that - some website simply can't provide these feeds, unfortunately. I hope to rely on xml feeds. Some vendors should be happy with the fact I proposed them to help them out about the feed I'm requesting
