Oh please oh please oh pleeeease



I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm a researcher in need of
developing an automated database and would like to see if someone here
is willing to consider putting together for me a simple website. I'm
not expecting a freebie of course, I'll pay if you're interested.

This is the outline of the project:

This would be a website that pulls records from closed eBay auctions
and stores them in predefined categories. The data would be formatted
by keyword. For example, if we were to pull all auctions over the
course of a year in ebay's categories for shoes I could ask that the
programming place them based on shoe colors black, blue and brown and
ignore all other auctions that do not have those keywords in the
auction title. I would then have on my site a database of shoe auctions
that grows each day and a link for each of the three colors of shoes.

A picture is worth a thousand words - here's a flowchart of the layout
and functionality I have in mind:

http://www.dirtyoldbooks.com/temp/sample1.jpg and, assume you click the
blue shoes link,
http://www.dirtyoldbooks.com/temp/sample2.jpg clicking on any of those
links would then pull up the old auction, stored on my site (not linked
to ebay of course).

I could foresee fancying it up a bit by adding a search function, a
counter for total records stored and a way to delete records caught by
the spider that are irrelevant but that's pretty much the extent of
what I'm looking for.

I can be reached at rasiel at dirty old books dot com but I'll follow
the thread in case I'm waaaay out of line asking for this sort of thing
on this NG.

Many thanks,

Ras
