EBay Motors Google Map Mash-up

For past few days I have been tough on eBay. (Can you blame me?) Anyway their head evangelist Adam Trachtenberg has mashed up Google Maps with eBay Motors information. Check it out. EBay plans to open source it. By the way, you can get pictures of the cars on sale, and all that. Pretty cool!

Whoa. The first couple of times I got no results. It dawned on me that maybe there really weren’t any Subaru SVX’s within 50 miles of my zip. DUH! Once I found something (remembering we’re talking about ebay motors here), it was amazing. THESE are the mashups of the future. Damn.

We are a new competitor to Ebay. I often wonder if people feel they pay far too much to Ebay?
We beat them on this. I hope you’ll take a look at us.
