Description
I built a small weekend project to help track RAM prices, since DDR3/DDR4/DDR5 costs have suddenly jumped recently and I was struggling to find good deals for my NAS build.RamScout scans eBay (UK/US) and ranks RAM listings by price per GB, with filters for type, capacity, speed, condition, etc. It’s a simple MVP — no frills, no accounts, no ads — just a fast way to spot unusually cheap listings.Would appreciate any feedback, especially on performance, UI, and whether expanding to more regions/vendors would be useful. Thanks!

Could you build this?
Yes It is a straightforward web scraper or API integration that fetches eBay listings, parses RAM specs from titles/descriptions with regular expressions or an LLM, calculates price-per-GB, and displays them in a filtered table.
