And yes, I'm still alive too.

Sorry for not getting back to anyone in a while. Here's the state of things.

In short - I've been busy and yes, AuctionSieve is still alive and being (very slowly) worked on.

In long form -

Personal life :
- We recently moved house and have done (and are doing) a bunch of renovations.
- I also started a new job which has involved reading up on a bunch of new technologies in my spare time (ie the time I spend reading on the train to work).
- To add on to that I've also done all the work in setting up our church website (and that still needs a bunch of work).
- Given that I want to spend at least *some* time with my kids, that means AuctionSieve hasn't gotten much attention.

AuctionSieve :
- I've started the process of converting AuctionSieve to use the proper eBay API rather than just scraping the website. This is a massive change which initially won't provide any new features. But it will make adding features much easier like the extra search options that everyone wants.
- Have I mentioned that the ebay api developer's guide is 1800 pages long?
- and they have a bunch of requirements that need to be added which means I may have to ditch some features like Price History. Which doesn't fill me with enthusiasm.

But I shall prevail and forge ahead! AuctionSieve FTW!

hmm... good you're still working on this.

bad that you may have to stop doing price history. please let us know when and if this is being removed, so that we can choose whether to upgrade or not. i use the price history extensively, and would seriously have to think hard before upgrading in that case.

thanks for your hard work!
