Ninetendo Amiibo price finderDuring the release of Nintendo action-figure like items, called Amiibos, there was a large community that attempted to collect them, and immediately many of the figures became rare, and thus extremely expensive. I wrote an application that crawled the websites of the sellers (Amazon, Toys R Us, Bestbuy, etc.) in order to find price drops and in general the lowest prices. Eventually, I planned to implement additional features but the fad died out and I lost interest. Still, I learned a ton about web crawling and database management while developing this application.
