    If they are....does anyone have any good ideas on how to download the information? I can write a program to parse the output of a search, and dump that into a local database. But getting popsike to output EVERYTHING with one search is difficult.

    anyone?

    try searching for extremely generic terms likely to be in most auctions like 'lp' or '45'.

    that, or create your own ebay indexing service similar to popsike, not sure how difficult that would be though.

    This used to work, but now all search strings have to be at least 4 characters long.

    yeah man, hook it up.

    If you can get 100,000 listings at once I can write a parser that extracts the info.

    I havn't used these, but I doubt it would get the database portion, which is the most important part.
