Could you build this?
Partial A searchable directory website is trivial to vibe-code, but continuously crawling, deduplicating, and verifying 22,000+ disparate county/state/police auction portals nationwide requires significant web scraping and data pipeline engineering.
What it would actually take: The product relies on a distributed web scraping pipeline (e.g., Scrapy, Playwright cluster, Celery) monitoring thousands of fragmented local government, police impound, and private auction portals with varying formats and anti-bot protections. An automated extraction, normalization, and deduplication pipeline (using LLM or rule-based parsers) is required to parse dates, locations, and lot details into structured data. The difficult challenge is maintaining thousands of scraping targets that constantly change their DOM structures.
