it'd be a lot cooler if the device was entirely self-hosted--the software is hosted elsewhere, according to my reading of the terms and agreement.  once you get a machine smart enough to adapt to changes in the ebay API (<a href="http://developer.ebay.com/common/api/" rel="nofollow">http://developer.ebay.com/common/api/</a>) i'll be excited enough to consider spending thousands of bucks on it.<p>i wonder if "hosted elsewhere" doesn't translate out to "mechanical turk" (<a href="https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome" rel="nofollow">https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome</a>) somehow (i know you can request to see the software...but only after you buy it!)
