eBay: You know what would be neat?

womzillaSomeone should set up a script (in Perl or somesuch) which harvests eBay auction headlines and final prices and archives them somewhere. One of the biggest problems with eBay is that its archives are really short, so items which show up infrequently have no institutional memory.
Actually, what I also would really love is a newsreader-style eBay browser, which harvests auction headlines and lets me mark them "read" if I've seen them once and decided to ignore them. Browsing eBay borders on the impossible not just because of the pure volume, but because of the redundancy; there are too few ways to indicate "I've seen that, never show it to me again".
If anyone knows of tools which do these things, please tell me.
