Sometimes searching for a popular items on eBay is tough. If you're looking for a Nintendo Wii, you have to scroll through pages and pages of Wii controllers and accessories. eBay gives you the option to sort by price and relevancy, but it doesn't always separate the wheat from the chaff.
Get It Next is a Web service that searches eBay for you, only displaying what you're really looking for; no more sifting through hundreds of iPod cases and power adapters when you're looking for a used Nano.
To get an idea of Get It Next's effectiveness, just take a look at the front page. The service has some of eBay's most popular searches there, and you can click on each one of them to see how well the service works. If you're looking for a Nintendo Wii, or a Webkins Tree Frog, you can immediately see how many are available, what price they're selling for, and you can bid on the item immediately. Get It Next shows you the price, the current bid, the shipping, the total price, and a photo of the item.
If the item is still available, you can bid on it immediately, and Get It Next even shows you how much time is left on the auction. If you click on an auction you're interested in, Get It Next displays the auction within its own layout, which has far fewer ads and is a bit cleaner than eBay itself. If you're not interested in bidding on items, you can click the "Buy It Now" tab at the top of the page to only see results from auctions that have Buy It Now prices set, and the "Find a Deal" tab will help you find a bargain price on whatever you might be looking for.
As you browse Get It Next for items that you want to buy, you can add them to your watch list on the sidebar or save searches that you've made. If you're looking to save some cash on shipping, you can enter your zip code to only see search results that are near you.
Get It Next is probably the best thing to happen to eBay since eBay Desktop. The site is clean and does exactly what it promises to do: sift through the dozens of unwanted search results to get the gadgets and gear you're looking for. The layout is a huge improvement over eBay, and the ability to track countdown timers, add items to your own watch list, and buy immediately through Get It Next makes it a winner.
