Title: My Cost Section
Post by: warpedflash on March 09, 2011, 09:35:25 am

Not everyone is from the USA :D can we get localised prices? Or the option to select what currency we used to pay(drop box or something)? £,$,€,¥ at least, As more people join (hopefully anyway) there will be more people from more places around the globe.

You could do that depends on how you have the values stored in your database lol ;)
A neat feature for the future might be being able to see what other prices people have paid for the same item, although this may cause arguments lol

One thing we wanted to do was keep track of what games are selling for and have a list of average pricing over the course of time. I'm not sure if showing what people have paid for items is a good idea, I agree it may start problems, ha.

Right now they are just a text field so the currency doesn't matter. If we ever evolve that section I could simply filter out the integers from the field. Not sure if that'll ever happen tho as it is really just for personal reference.

As for other prices, I am already recording Amazon new and used prices and am hoping to do something with that eventually. It is really hard to estimate a value since we really only have eBay and Amazon to go on. I'll be looking into the eBay API soon.
