Any pristine auction users? I built a mirror that is easier to search and shows historical sales from PA

 I built timswallet.com to help navigate pristineauction.com in a more sane way - feedback is welcome.

It seems a lot of auction sites (or at least the ones I interact with) make finding historical sales data difficult. This asymmetrical data relationship bothered me, so I built this site.

I've been an avid sports memorabilia collector browsing PA for the last few years, but I hate their search and historical records. So I started saving prices and comparing them against the daily auctions - used it myself to spot deals on cheap items over the years. Honestly I've had more fun building this than actually buying autographs. Also turns out I'm not great at running an eBay store - too much work for me.

Figured I'd put it out there so others could use it too. Heads up: There are some days random days missing from the set - I couldn't run my scripts every day over the years, and my server crashed more than once, so there are gaps in the historical pricing, but overall it paints a complete picture.

Any Pristine Auction Users? Their search is unusable, so I built my own site to help

I built timswallet.com to help find deals on pristineauction.com - feedback is welcome. I've been an avid sports memorabilia collector browsing PA for the last few years, but I hate their search and historical records. So I started saving prices and comparing them against the daily auctions - used it myself to spot deals on cheap items over the years.

Figured I'd put it out there so others could use it too. Heads up: the data isn't 100% complete — I couldn't run my scripts every day over the years, and my server crashed more than once, so there are gaps in the historical pricing, but overall it paint a complete picture.

It's free, treat it as such. I've been the only user since I built it, so I'd love any feedback. I've got more features planned but didn't want perfect to get in the way of good enough.

disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with PA, and I have no idea how they feel about me building this site
