Investigate item re-posts in alert_on_new_query_results #8

Closed scottmconway closed 1 month ago

scottmconway commented 2 years ago

When an item doesn't sell, SGW will often repost the item under a new item ID. As of now, the repost is treated as a completely separate entity compared to the initial post. It might be worth changing the seen_listings format to include title information (and possibly even auction date information), so that we could accurately track item reposts.

A configuration option could allow users to choose whether or not to alert on reposts.

5 kinda goes kills this ask, at least as it is now. We could add a week delay or something before removing a listing from the seen_listings JSON if we want to pursue this issue.
