Very welcome! Thanks for the comment -- currently no.
The system we have in place shows you prices as found from different locations -- so if you search from the US you will be shown prices in $$ and if you search from say Brazil, you will see prices in Reals. We can add the conversion as a feature.
- jcr 14y agoI should have mentioned it, but I think "real-time" would be overkill (i.e. live forex quotes), but generally recent currency exchange rates are easy to get. Also, the variance in shipping costs and sales tax/vat are additional way to help improve comparison accuracy, but getting this right is a whole lot of work, and worse, keeping it up to date is painful. Another consideration would be how various browsers are being faked. If you're spoofing by using a modified user-agent, then the spoof is detectable through javascript. Getting past this could be done either through virtualization or creating a modified client/browser to better emulate the target browser. It's a great project, and I'm looking forward to reading though your code.
- kwisatzh 14y agoYes we are indeed spoofing the UA and you are quite right that it is easy to circumvent this. This is a first step and our intention is to have more people use this and give us feedback so that we can make it better. Thanks much for your very helpful suggestions and comments.
