Donor Drive App

October 31st, 2023, 1:56

This app automatically searches ebay for matching donor drives.

We have eliminated the boring and time consuming process of manually searching ebay for donor hard drives.

The app is free.

We are launching this in pre-release beta for testing, user feedback and bug reporting

Download: https://www.zeroalpha.com.au/donor-drive-app

With the price of some donor drives now exceeding $600 this app can find and match all the low price unlisted bargains by using an add on image search application from Google.

Write me back here for any questions and we hope to continue to improve the product if you guys find it useful :)

Python is required, otherwise will not be possible to install app.
Last python version is 3.12 which works only with Win 8.1 or higher, the minimum python version needed for this app is 3.11 (which also works only on Win 8.1 and above).

The app is a stand alone .exe file. This shouldn't be the case but curious to see what is happening here

It's brilliant. One problem I've found is that sorting on the results didn't work properly. I tried to sort results by price and nothing happened. Other than that, perfect :cool:

The 1st error message it returns to me is identical, the second one is very similar

This is the exact 2nd error message that your app returns

As usual, the solutions reported on microsoft community are never helpful, in fact they do not solve the problem.

Thanks for the feedback. The app uses a free public forex currency converter to display prices in your local currency. Similar to many free public services, it frequently goes offline, causing the app to lose its ability to sort by prices, thus ruining the user experience.

I'll make this a priority to fix it.

Thanks for sharing! I see your problem now! You are using Windows 7 which Microsoft ended support for. Unfortunatley this app will not work with legacy Windows.
