Agreed, changed it to an extras filter.

I added keyword filters, hopefully you can use that for NVMe. About the affiliate link: eBay doesn't take in registrations for the country I live in.

I have added a UK version. More EU countries coming soon.

Thanks for the info! Listings often fail to mention many things, and aren't standardized, so it's quite a mess.

added!

credit to diskprices.com for the inspiration.

They do work great as basic computers! Something to give to an older relative perhaps.

I was actually going to make one for workstations, since that is what I thought the best deal was for my home server. Then I did some research, and realized mini pcs are a better deal now. Still might build it though.

I've added keyword filters so you can include/exclude keywords.

UK version: https://lowcostminipcs.com/uk/

Thanks! Here's the UK version: https://lowcostminipcs.com/uk/

The eBay api doesn't tell you which fields are variable, so you have to do that yourself. Do you still have the link?

Update: I have added the UK marketplace https://lowcostminipcs.com/uk/ as well as keyword filters for stuff like processors. Thank you everyone for the feedback!

by mjcurl 2y ago
Another person mentioned this, so I will add this as soon as I can.

I wanted to add this, but that data is almost never entered by sellers.
46.
by mjcurl 2y ago
Oh, how I wish I had better access to the eBay data .. currently they limit you to 5k requests per day.
47.
by mjcurl 2y ago
Sure, how about a keyword filter instead? That way you can filter by whatever instead of big filter lists cluttering the UI.

by mjcurl 2y ago
No, just was inspired by diskprices, thought it's great UX. I will be adding more marketplaces, .de included.

Actually I did stick it behind Cloudflare..not sure why it would time out, since it's just an html page.

by mjcurl 2y ago
Is this for the CPU column? That's actually one I spent the least time on, since there was so much variation with how sellers entered processors. I'll take a look at it, thanks.

eBay uses a 'best match' sort on the results, perhaps that's why it was missed. What did you search for when you found this one?
52.
by mjcurl 2y ago
Good call, I'll encode the state in the URL. Did not come across a lot of Intel VPros in my searches. What's the use case for them?
53.
by mjcurl 2y ago
I prefer that too. Now to get data for all the listed CPUs!
54.
by mjcurl 2y ago
I found that to happen sometimes, so I marked customizable listings. But I think I was able to parse most of them to show the specs for the selected variation, not the parent or the title.
55.
by mjcurl 2y ago
Reviews aren't common due to many listings having 1 item in stock. What would the requirements for your decoding be?
56.
by mjcurl 2y ago
That makes sense to me, thank you. I have changed links to open in a new tab.
57.
by mjcurl 2y ago
Thank you, I have fixed the "OS" filter to be must include. Chromeboxes don't come up much for the search I'm using. I think I could try a separate search for them. Regarding shipping, I'm not sure how to include it

I tried to find this out myself. All I could find easily was the TDP of different processors. But I'm not sure if it's a good measure of how much power it will use.

by mjcurl 2y ago
Agreed, an N100 mini PC can be a great deal. They also tend to be smaller. I added a separate Intel filter that includes a lot of N100s. But it might be better to buy those new, not used.

I did plan this, but upon getting the data, found it too difficult for the initial version. There's no standard for CPU (or most fields actually), so sellers write it in a variety of ways. But it could be done, after I compile a datase
