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.

This new release downloads and displays item specifics (a.k.a item attributes) even when the application is configured to not show the item webpage. Combined with “image scrubbing” in image view mode (see animation below) you can find exactly what you are looking for even more quickly.

GarageBuy Touch users on the iPhone will be pleased to hear that GarageBuy 1.5 learned to move watched auctions to the user’s ‘My eBay’ from where GarageBuy Touch on the iPhone can pick them up.

If you find it too time consuming to stay on top of your eBay searches, give GarageBuy a try. It’s a free download.

If you want to buy something on one of the 16 different eBay marketplaces we support, fire up iTunes and download GarageBuy for iPhone for free.

GarageBuy’s latest incarnation allows you to restrict your eBay search to a certain price range. We also tried to squeeze out a little more performance, so your search results are appearing sooner.

We’d love to demonstrate GarageBuy 1.3 to you in person, so if you are in San Francisco be sure to drop by our MacWorld booth S-2544.

If you like to see what other GarageBuy users have to say, please take a look at this review (and nope, we really didn’t pay this guy).

GarageBuy now also supports proximity searches around your ZIP code and lets send auctions to your friends by e-mail easily.

More information can be found on the GarageBuy page.

We added a third viewing mode for found auctions. It shows one auction image and the current bid. The color of of the price tag tells you whether you are the highest bidder on this item (green) or not (red).

	A progress bar is displayed right under the title of each watched auction, telling you how much time is left until the auction finishes.

When selecting an item, you can now slide through the auction’s images. We like the new way much more, than the thumbnail based approach of version 1.0.

And … Yes, Folks. GarageBuy is Free!

GarageBuy 1.0 Beta 5 fixes a few glitches present in earlier development versions. If you are using any of the earlier beta releases, you should definitely update to this version.

GarageBuy is the first Mac application featuring eBay-certified bidding functionality. Bids can be placed instantly without having to wait for all those web pages to load.

It also features an intuitive Gallery view, which loads as many images from your found items as fit on your screen. You don’t have to open each single listing just to see how the item looks anymore.

Just start your existing copy and the built-in update mechanism will install the current release on your mac automatically.
