## Documentation

### Overview

Track product prices across multiple e-commerce platforms to identify arbitrage opportunities, profit margins, and optimal buying/selling windows. This skill enables automated price monitoring, historical tracking, and revenue-focused decision making.

### 1. Product Discovery & Monitoring

Search and Track Products:

Search products by keyword across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Best Buy
Add products to monitoring lists
Set target price thresholds
Configure alert frequency (hourly, daily, weekly)

Example Request:
"Monitor iPhone 15 Pro prices across Amazon and eBay. Alert me if the price drops below $800 or if eBay listing is $150+ cheaper than Amazon."

### 2. Arbitrage Analysis

Cross-Platform Comparison:

Compare identical product prices across platforms
Calculate profit margins after fees and shipping
Identify flip-worthy opportunities (20%+ margin after costs)
Factor in platform fees, shipping costs, and taxes

Fee Structure Reference:

Amazon: ~15% referral fee
eBay: ~13% final value fee + listing fees
Walmart: ~8-15% referral fee

Example Request:
"Find Nintendo Switch bundles where eBay price is 20%+ higher than Amazon, accounting for all fees and shipping costs."

### 3. Historical Price Tracking

Price History:

Track price changes over time (30, 60, 90 days)
Identify seasonal pricing patterns
Detect price manipulation or flash sales
Export historical data for analysis

Example Request:
"Show me the price history for AirPods Pro 2 over the last 60 days. Identify the best buying window."

### 4. Automated Alerts

Alert Configuration:

Price drop alerts (below threshold)
Arbitrage opportunity alerts (margin threshold)
Competitor price alerts (when competitor lowers price)
Bulk product monitoring

Example Request:
"Set up alerts for all Sony TV models. Alert me if any model drops below $400 or has 25%+ arbitrage margin."

### Track a Single Product

# Use scripts/track_product.py
python3 scripts/track_product.py \\
  --product "Apple iPhone 15 Pro 256GB" \\
  --platforms amazon,ebay \\
  --alert-below 800 \\
  --alert-margin 0.20

### Bulk Monitor Products from CSV

# Use scripts/bulk_monitor.py
python3 scripts/bulk_monitor.py \\
  --csv products.csv \\
  --margin-threshold 0.25 \\
  --alert-frequency daily

### Price Comparison Report

# Use scripts/compare_prices.py
python3 scripts/compare_prices.py \\
  --keyword "Sony WH-1000XM5" \\
  --platforms amazon,ebay,walmart,bestbuy \\
  --report markdown

### Arbitrage Opportunity Discovery

Search for products in high-demand categories (electronics, gaming, home goods)
Compare prices across all platforms using compare_prices.py
Calculate net profit after fees/shipping/taxes
Filter opportunities with 20%+ margin
Verify product condition and seller reliability
Execute or set monitoring for price drops

### Price Drop Monitoring

Identify target products (wishlist, seasonally discounted items)
Set alert thresholds using track_product.py
Monitor historical patterns to predict optimal buy windows
Act when price drops below threshold
Repeat for seasonal shopping events (Prime Day, Black Friday)

### track_product.py

Track a single product across platforms with configurable alerts.

Parameters:

--product: Product name/keyword
--platforms: Comma-separated platforms (amazon,ebay,walmart,bestbuy)
--alert-below: Alert when price drops below this amount
--alert-margin: Alert when arbitrage margin exceeds this fraction (e.g., 0.20 = 20%)
--frequency: Check frequency (hourly,daily,weekly)
--output: Output format (json,csv,markdown)

Example:

python3 scripts/track_product.py \\
  --product "Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB" \\
  --platforms amazon,ebay,walmart \\
  --alert-below 900 \\
  --alert-margin 0.25 \\
  --frequency daily \\
  --output markdown

### compare_prices.py

Compare prices for a product across all platforms.

Parameters:

--keyword: Product search keyword
--platforms: Comma-separated platforms (default: all)
--report: Report format (markdown,json,csv)
--sort-by: Sort by price, margin, or rating
--min-rating: Minimum seller rating

Example:

python3 scripts/compare_prices.py \\
  --keyword "PlayStation 5 Slim" \\
  --platforms amazon,ebay,walmart,bestbuy \\
  --report markdown \\
  --sort-by margin \\
  --min-rating 4.5

### bulk_monitor.py

Monitor multiple products from a CSV file.

CSV Format:

product,platforms,alert_below,alert_margin
"Apple MacBook Air M3 256GB",amazon,ebay,walmart,899,0.20
"Sony PlayStation 5",amazon,ebay,399,0.25
"Dyson V15 Detect",amazon,walmart,bestbuy,500,0.18

Parameters:

--csv: Path to CSV file
--margin-threshold: Minimum margin to report
--alert-frequency: Frequency of alerts
--output: Output file for alerts

Example:

python3 scripts/bulk_monitor.py \\
  --csv products.csv \\
  --margin-threshold 0.20 \\
  --alert-frequency daily \\
  --output alerts.txt

### price_history.py

Retrieve and analyze historical price data.

Parameters:

--product: Product name/keyword
--days: Number of days of history (default: 30)
--platform: Specific platform (optional)
--output: Output format (markdown,json,csv)
--trend-analysis: Include trend analysis and predictions

Example:

python3 scripts/price_history.py \\
  --product "AirPods Pro 2" \\
  --days 60 \\
  --trend-analysis \\
  --output markdown

### Arbitrage Profit Calculation

Always calculate net profit:

Net Profit = (Sell Price - Buy Price)
            - Platform Fees
            - Shipping Costs
            - Payment Processing Fees
            - Taxes

Recommended minimum margin: 20-25% to account for:

Unexpected shipping delays
Returns/refunds
Market price fluctuations
Time value of money

### Risk Mitigation

Verify seller reliability - Check ratings and reviews
Check product condition - New, refurbished, or used
Factor in return windows - Platforms have different policies
Monitor price stability - Volatile prices increase risk
Stay within limits - Don't over-leverage on single opportunities

### Seasonal Patterns

Q4 (Oct-Dec): Holiday sales, best for electronics
January: Post-holiday clearance
Prime Day (July): Amazon-specific deals
Black Friday/Cyber Monday: Cross-platform discounts
Back-to-School (Aug-Sep): Laptops, tablets, accessories

### Set Up Cron Jobs for Automated Monitoring

# Check prices every 6 hours
0 */6 * * * /path/to/price-tracker/scripts/bulk_monitor.py --csv products.csv --output alerts.txt

# Daily arbitrage scan
0 9 * * * /path/to/price-tracker/scripts/compare_prices.py --keyword "high-demand-products" --report markdown >> /path/to/reports.txt

### Integration with Notifications

Combine with notification systems (email, Discord, Telegram) to receive real-time alerts when opportunities are detected.

### Limitations

Platform API rate limits may affect search frequency
Real-time prices may have slight delays
Some platforms restrict scraping (comply with ToS)
Seller inventory changes rapidly

Revenue first. Track smart. Flip fast.
