http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/DoctorMason/6445 Before I put this customized Excel spreadsheet real estate related software on ebay, I was wondering what else it could be used for. How much should I ask for it? It is designed to compare a column in one database to a column in another database, and make a 3rd database showing the matching rows. So the 1st row contains the data from the 1st database and the 2nd row contains all of the information found in the 2nd database. Originally designed to compare information about homes and land for sale, taken from this Bakersfield MLS directory, and compare the information found about the same listings, but from this company. There is no guarantee that both real estate databases had information about a place you're interested in purchasing, but if they DID have information about that place, you'd want to see it. This custom designed Excel program comes with a simple interface with only 2 buttons to push. And once the real estate info is loaded, it goes into both databases and brings up the matching street addresses all within seconds. If you'll suggest some uses for this, I'm gonna draw up a sales ad based upon your ideas. If I use your ideas I'll gladly pay you for your idea (IF it sells on ebay!)
