ServerDeals finds cheaper used server gear on eBay.de

ServerDeals is a free tool that checks eBay.de and Kleinanzeigen each day for used server equipment and puts cheaper listings near the top. Normal eBay search mostly shows asking prices, so it can take a long time to judge whether a home lab or small office part is actually a good deal. The tool tracks 15 categories, including rack servers, Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant machines, storage, switches, fast network cards, server memory, storage controller cards, enterprise SSDs, UPS units, mini PCs, thin clients, Xeon processors, and GPUs.

Each listing is compared with the usual price for its category, with Kleinanzeigen prices used as an extra check because eBay blocks scraping of sold-listing pages. Saved searches can send email alerts, such as when a specific server appears below a chosen price. A watchlist can also send an email two hours before a saved auction ends.

The tool is currently limited to Europe, eBay.de, Kleinanzeigen, and euro pricing. Parts of the implementation were helped by Claude, while the architecture, product choices, and scoring logic were designed by the builder.
