netstorm 90 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 If i went to the trouble of collecting all this data, and putting it into graphs, and tables would this be of interest to you guys? I'm currently putting together a script like gunbot.net, and plan to track many other things such as daily price of ammo at each site so that people can see the historical data. I am also looking into harvesting all the older data through google for older pricing, but don't want to waste my time if people wont be interested in this. What I was thinking is I could somehow also verify the trends of ammo coming in stock overall to dealers along with the daily pricing to see if the market is about to get flooded with ammo. If my scripts notice a huge surge in stock of 308 coming in, and a slight decrease in pricing in a few days then the algorithm would guestimate that there would be a high likely hood of a price decrease the next few weeks which would save people quite a bit of money. Any feedback would be welcome as I have started on this project, and don't want to have to re code large parts of it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

notadrone 5 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I think having the pre hysteria pricing available could be helpful to new buyers and folks who don't buy often. It would show that 75$ for a brick of 22lr is not acceptable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Go for it, and thank you for being willing to invest your time in this to share with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
storm6490 2,768 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Fuck yes Im interested! Im too busy to compile that data! Historical charts of multiple calibers would rock. New data could be stolen from ammoengineseekorwhatever. It would be like a kitco for bullets. Thought of this before but then realized how difficult it would be to compile such huge amounts of info. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netstorm 90 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Glad everyone likes this idea. I'm working on this now, and hoping for a summer limited release, and hope to have many other great features down the road. I may also run a closed beta and allow members from this forum to give feedback. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
