I like the project! Echoing that I'm seeing issues with anything from GovDeals surfacing in my area, I know there's a couple hundred auctions and only GSA Auctions came up.

Additionally, there's definitely some funkiness when it comes to how it handles current price/bid, I don't know if I saw any that were actually reporting the correct price it was currently at, always was under reported.

Thanks for sharing though, going to keep an eye on this!

Appreciate it. Some of the bugs I have been able to fix today, but these listings actually come from diverse and in some cases hard and time-consuming to parse sources. I have no intention of scraping govdeals or anything like that, which means I have to do my own ingestion and cleaning of the data.
