SavePoint

• Today, I want to 1. Finish the pricing scrapers, and 2. setup Typesense for search

• I also want to take notes on what a real POS system should do, what tech to use as well

• I also want to clear-up what features should be available to businesses and users (since a lot of features can overlap)

• I am realizing only very few games have the different condition options

• What we will need to do is search upc + keywords for the game’s condition

• Then, we will need to use math to calculate what prices (in the set) are in the range and what are outliers (most likely wrong condition items) using Gr 11/Gr 12. IA math?

• For new games, use the new game filter

• For loose and cib games, just search and use that

• Don’t worry too much, just get good numbers that match up roughly with Price charting

• Make a “game valuations, what we estimate you should buy for and profit breakdown calculator”

• Clean up this API, then look at basic POS system creation (and where we need Stripe)

• NEW APPROACH: scrape all the prices for the games (sold prices), then organize by quartiles + remove outliers to get the loose, cib, new prices!
