Artworks auctions site aggregator - need advice
I have developed an MVP for a service that aggregate auctions sites and give to the user the possibility to make an easy search one time for every sites.
The goal is to address collector that could use our service to search hidden auctions or to have an overview of the auctions online. The problem is that to make a separate search on every sites, the user spends too much time and the process creates confusion.
Based on your experience, which could be the features useful for the users?
Actually i scrape the sites to extract the data on a specific category and populate my db, but i think that this process has more disadvantages that advantages. One idea is to establish a partnership for every sites.
What do you think?
Do you have any advice?
Thank you
Ciao sempre attivo il progetto?
Do you have a link?

Search and notification is a good feature, but not sure people will be willing to pay for it.
How will you monetize?

I have used invaluable.com in the past (but have never won :P). I find it quite time consuming because it's hard to find items I like.
Curation is an interesting challenge that I think is yet to be solved. I wonder if there's room to make a community around curation / discussing art / auction items ?
Is there such a community already?
Hi @sobbuh, thank you for the response :)
Actually i don't have a public link, but i hope to but something online in the next few days.
Slowly every auctions site are implementing a custom notifications system, but i think that the problem will remain.
You have used only invaluable, think that a collector must search on multiple sites (small, medium and large) and this action is time consuming.
Curation is an interesting challenge and i didn't think about it.
Do you think that cover this aspect is useful?
Do you have any advice about possible and useful features?
I think that a way to monetize is like a SaaS :)
