iwascoding has released the first version of a free utility, GarageBuy. The software is used to speed up searching and bidding for auctions on eBay, and is in fact said to be the only non-browser software officially certified for eBay purchases. The primary feature is its Gallery view, which allows users to quickly scan lists of auctions, with consolidated images and Auction Summaries making it easier to see if a sale is worth pursuing. Search results can be saved locally, and when a user-bid auction enters its last phase, GarageBuy will update its details every few seconds. Closing dates can be exported to iCal. The program is a Universal Binary for Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later.
