Hugo's little piece of the web

I saw a commercial for beezid.com late one nite and from a developers perspective, I realized a few things:

1. Thats a lot of ajax being used to update those auction previews.
2. I bet i can data-mine that site.
3. Let the data-mining begin.

I started of with just pounding everything out in MS Word's VBA as its 1000 times easier to do. Sure, I then had to port everything over to .Net but it was worth it.

Here's what the scanner does: (console app)
It will take a command line parameter in the form of an auction id. i.e.  248199
It will then display in its title, the auction id,the start time (app running), and the current time.

In the window, it displays the auction location. minus the domain. Along with the current history (last 18) of bid information. that being:
current bid, bid count for user, user, time of last bid (from server)
When the auction is done it will dump its entire  scan report into a file. Check the read-me file contained with in the archive for more info.

Here is the scanner. MegaUpload
It's not obfuscated so you developers can dump it.
