PathAu · UK

Every new PC and PC part on eBay UK, priced part by part.

A whole PC is split into CPU, GPU, memory and storage, each priced against what it actually sells for in the UK. Your fees and postage come off. What is left is the first line of the alert: pounds, not a score or a colour.

Free. eBay alerts, no card, no email address. We don't promise profit. We show the numbers; the call is yours.

What an alert looks like

This is the format that lands in Telegram. The lot below is made up for this page; the layout and the arithmetic are the real thing.

Under every alert: Open listing, Bought it, Too late, Price is off, and Show the working. Those taps are how we find out where our estimate is wrong.

A public log of past finds, with the time between our alert and the lot going, is kept in our Telegram channel.

How it works

  1. We watch eBay UK for new listings. Whole PCs, graphics cards, processors, memory, storage, motherboards and power supplies.
  2. We price each part against UK sold prices, not against asking prices, and read what the seller wrote in the title, description and item specifics.
  3. Your costs come off. You tell the bot how you sell (eBay as a private seller or a business, or local cash) and it takes off the fees and postage that apply to you.
  4. If it clears your bar, it arrives with the working shown. You set the bar per category: minimum profit in pounds, minimum return, or every lot that turns a profit.

Overnight we scan less often, but we do scan. The next morning you get a list of what was listed overnight and is still on sale.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't buy anything for you and it doesn't guarantee a margin. The estimate is only as good as the price we hold for each part, and sometimes it is wrong. When a lot looks too cheap to be true, the alert says so instead of hiding it. When we get one wrong, the Price is off button tells us.

Before an alert goes out, a lot that looks like a deal is checked against eBay once more, in case the seller has changed the price since we found it.

Starting and stopping

Start

Open @pathau_bot in Telegram and press Start. Nothing is sent until you turn alerts on. There is no sign-up form and we never ask for an email address.

Stop

Press the Pause alerts button in the bot's menu. Alerts stop immediately and stay off until you press it again. You can also block the bot in Telegram, which ends delivery on Telegram's side too.

Delete your data

Message us at artassasin83@gmail.com from any address, quoting your Telegram username, and we will delete your record. Details are in the privacy policy.

There is no limit on how often you can pause and resume. We send alerts only to people who pressed Start themselves, and only about lots that match their own settings.

Affiliate links

eBay links in our alerts and digests may be affiliate links through the eBay Partner Network. If you buy after clicking one, eBay pays us a small commission out of its own fee. It costs you nothing and it does not change the price, the ranking or the estimate. Where a message carries one, it says so.

Links to other marketplaces are plain links; we earn nothing from them.
