>I have this concept I throwing together. It is not professional or
anything, just something I thought might be interesting. The concept is
business(me) - to - consumer. It is, What did you buy?. You log into this
site and describe purchases you might have made over time.
Whatever...you submit that and you get to analyze this stat against
other's user's Tommy purchase for example.
What do you think.

I think I'd be more interested in finding out how much I should pay before I
purchase, rather than finding out I spent $20 more than I should have after
I purchased.
Hardest part would be getting enough people's spending data to make the
stats useful. Some people don't like having the purchases tracked. Other
people will mispell brands, names of items - how are you going to teach the
computer that two differently spelt items are the same thing? Sounds like a
lot of maintenance...
And with all that time you're going to spend collating and maintaining that
data - how is it going to pay you back? There's no point getting obsesed
with something like this that could easily take all your free time, if
theres no money (which you'll need to pay your bills)
