Beginning this month iwascoding will start a new series called ‘Design of the Month’. Each month we will introduce a new auction design in GarageSale’s built-in design store at a discounted price. This discount will last for the first weekend the auction design is available.

Just in time for the 4th of July the first auction design in this series is ‘Independence Day’. It is available for USD/EUR 1.99 now until the end of this weekend. Afterwards it will be 3.99.

We also adding two other designs to our design store. Checkout ‘Soccer Theme’ and ‘T-Shirt USA’.

GarageBuy 2, a new version of our award winning Mac application for keeping track of your eBay searches and watch list, is now available for download.

For version 2 we rewrote most parts of the application, to make your life as an eBay buyer even more convenient.

You can modify searches directly within the main window and instantly see updated results. New back and forward buttons let you easily go back and forth between different search queries.

GarageBuy 2 uses eBay’s new Finding API and runs in 64-bit for maximum performance.

More information is available on the GarageBuy product page and this blog post.

We just posted Beta 3 of GarageBuy 2, our free tool for keeping track of your eBay searches and purchasing items, to our website.

GarageBuy 2 has been re-engineered in almost every area:

• We needed to move GarageBuy to an entirely new eBay API for the second time in its history to prevent it from breaking once eBay shuts down the old API. GarageBuy 2 is now using eBay’s new Finding API.
• Searches in GarageBuy 2 can be modified directly from within the main window. Previously, you had to open a separate window to setup your search’s attributes.
• New back and forward buttons make it easy to switch between two versions of a search.
• You can now specify domains and aspects when setting up searches. This feature was available for some time on the eBay web page. Domains, like ‘shoes’ or ‘digital cameras’, let you search for a certain type of goods without having to specify a certain sub category first. Aspects, like Style, Color, and Shoe Size let pre-select certain item attributes for your searches.
• GarageBuy 2 will run in 64-bit on supported Macs for maximum performance.

If you run into any bugs with this beta, we’d like to hear from you.

And yes, GarageBuy 2 will be available for free.

GarageSale for iPad has finally made it into the App Store. If you have an iPad, this is the tool of choice for listing and tracking your items on eBay.

GarageSale for iPad is available 4.99 USD or 3.99 EUR. If you already own it, we’d love to hear your feedback.
