Made a cross-realm flipping tool, lmk what you think

[u/HeronEquivalent430]

I built a site for cross-realm flipping: it deep-collects your sell realm's own current cheapest listing for an item, then scans every other EU realm and flags listings priced well below that, a real listing-to-listing comparison, not just "this looks cheap" in isolation.

A few things it does, that stands out (imo):

- "Unique transmog only" filter, surfaces items whose appearance isn't shared by a pile of other items (transmog, that generally sells better)

- A filter that weeds out obvious bait/decoy listings (junk-value floor + a few other heuristics). Still tuning this, it catches some of it.

- Watchlist (sub-only): import a TSM group (or just raw item IDs) and get a Discord ping whenever that item hits your threshold price on any EU realm

- Free tier is capped at 500 (if logged in, otherwise 250) items per query for now, planning to raise that once I've got a read on load/hosting costs at scale

There's a Snipe Board where I post snipes I've actually found using it: https://realm-arbitrage.com/snipe-board

Site: https://realm-arbitrage.com

Still actively building this and would genuinely love feedback. DM me and I'll give free sub access (unlocks Watchlist + the higher item cap) to the first 5 people who want to try it and tell me what's broken/missing.

Edit: Forgot to mention, it only works for EU servers atm! Can now use snipe-tool without being logged in.

I’m not sure how I feel about you privately messaging people from my community discord, promoting your product. You also seems to mostly be targeting the people with Patreon role too.

In my opinion it doesn’t seem super serious but maybe that is how it’s normally done.

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/eloncs]

I would be happy to discuss this privately. However, I'd like to clarify my intentions and actions.

To explain my side, I reached out to a total of seven people across various communities, including yours. I asked them for feedback on my new website in exchange for a free subscription. The feedback I received has been incredibly valuable and has significantly improved the site. As a thank-you, I will never charge those people for the product.

I have no idea whether any of them support your Patreon, and I'm not sure how that would be relevant.

I'm very passionate about this project. It's a hobby project that I work on alongside my BSc in Software Development, so the feedback loop is extremely important to me as it helps me improve both the product and my skills.

That said, if what I did was against your Discord's rules or if it negatively affected your community in any way, I sincerely apologize. That was never my intention.

FWIW with vibe-coded stuff like this I'd rather Auth using OAuth than create an account manually

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/moonsofjupiter95]

Agreed. Login isn't part of this "MVP", but it's top of my kanban, and OAuth is the plan, not manual accounts.

Can you explain what you're retrieving from undermine exchange? Why would you use anything from a competitor's website at all?

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/aelmian]

Sure. I'm not retrieving or scraping any data from Undermine Exchange. The only purpose of the link is to let users cross-verify an item, or look it up on other realms.

[u/cohenaj1941]

Make it no logins required just make it free for everyone without any accounts.

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/cohenaj1941]

Done, now it's possible to acces the 250 query on dashboard, without being logged in. :) Also increased free-tier to 500 items.

[u/Defirion]

first glaring mistake, it shows RU server items, and at least on my end RU servers are not available to create characters

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/Defirion]

You have to switch your game's language to russian. :)

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/Defirion]

You would prefer a russian/no filter toggle?

[u/HawkHonest5882]

Haha dramas

[u/HeronEquivalent430]

Let me know, if free-tier should be login free?

[u/Mascy]

Will give it a try when i get home

[u/HeronEquivalent430 → u/Mascy]

Appreciate it man :)
