I mainly have different cronjob web scrapers that email me results. The latest one is for a local auction site that sells returned items. My scraper does a simple search for items that I’m looking for and then emails me if those items are for sell every day. That way I don’t have to waste time going to the site and looking for it manually, and I’m not tempted by other items that I don’t necessarily need right now.
