<p>Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> ==Introductory Rant==<br /> [[User:Eric]] here, so many companies, industries, and research institutions (universities, labs), sell equipment before it is fully broken, either due to obsolescence, or as a preventative measure to avoid massive maitnence<br /> <br /> (Also some full on broken, but still useful hardware)<br /> <br /> There are MANY ways to find this:<br /> *Ebay<br /> *Craigslist<br /> *Facebook Marketplace<br /> * ...<br /> <br /> But these are all seperate, and may not have tools for seaarching within a specific area, or for time requirements/ shipping requirements etc<br /> <br /> This would be a HUGE coding project, and would perhaps run into [[The XKCD Standards Issue]]<br /> <br /> BUT this would be a useful tool for starting makerspaces/microfactoris/schools to allow them to save time on finding used machines/parts<br /> <br /> Also may serve as publicity/marketing if it goes into widespread use<br /> <br /> Also note that i have little/no experience in code, so this may be near impossible, and a nonsence idea, but posting this is better than leaving the idea only in my head<br /> <br /> =How it would essentially work=<br /> *Use a Zillow Like Map interface (Draw custom borders, or use presets on where you are willing to order from)<br /> *Search what product/category you want (Such as &quot;Industrial Machinery&quot; or &quot;CNC Mill&quot;, or &quot;Commercial Kitchen Equipment&quot; or &quot;Commercial Mixer&quot;, etc)<br /> *Merge all the aforementioned services&#039; data (How to do this, any way to extract data from pages? )<br /> *Allow for updates of when a device becomes available in the defined area etc<br /> *Allow for updates if an offer ends<br /> *Allow for networking via other services such as user websites, phone numbers, etc (All user electable obiously)<br /> *Allow for posting of any relevant information related to the product (Spec sheetss, videos, photos)<br /> <br /> =Need to Research/figure out=<br /> *ALL THE CODE<br /> *What to make it into, a Computer Program, a Chrome Extension, a webpage?<br /> <br /> =See Also=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =Useful Links=<br /> *</div>
