Motivation

Logo

This application was built to monitor Steam market value changes of all CSGO Items. It was an attempt at learning the basics of Web Scraping

It helps in obtaining an item at a lower price than normal. i.e., It notifies the user when the product value decreases below the desired price. Hence saving money and time that goes wasted on waiting for the prices to fall.
