Amazon Pricing Results

• Amazon provides pricing data to third-party services in "pages"; we only receive a limited number of each condition type.
• FillZ receives pages of data containing the lowest prices on the Amazon marketplaces, as well as Amazon's price if they are selling an item. We are able to provide up to a maximum of 10 New, 20 Used and 10 Collectible results. Typically we will provide 10 Used prices, but if there isn't a good spread of data across Like New, Very Good, Good and Acceptable, we might grab an extra page of Used prices, to total up to 20 results.

The getPrices() function returns an array of objects. Each object has the following attributes:

• price - offer price
• condition - offer condition
• sellerid - the ID of the seller making the offer (eg. A145U848SR7CTZ)
• sellerrating - the rating of the seller making the offer (0.0-5.0)
• sellerfeedback - the feedback count of the seller making the offer (integer >= 0)
• sellername - the name, state, and country of the seller, if known (eg. bobsbookhut/KY/US or bobsbookhut//)

Typically, one will iterate through the offers like so:

 priceList = getPrices('sameOrBetter');
 if (priceList) {
   for (pind=0; pind < priceList.length; pind++) {
     if (priceList[pind].sellerid == myAmzID) continue;
     if (priceList[pind].sellerfeedback < 10) continue;
     lowPrice = priceList[pind].price;
     break;
   }
 }
