While taking the Beckett pricing guide online provided significant benefits to Beckett.com users, the process for populating the pricing guides still involved extensive manual data collection.

Intuit

Intuit leverages the power of eBay Market Data for its ItsDeductible software, which is part of their TurboTax line of products. ItsDeductible enables users to quickly and easily calculate the fair market value of non-cash donated items for their personal tax reporting purposes.

"Like most people, I've historically undervalued charitable contributions on my tax return. This software dramatically increased my deduction as compared with prior years (in which donations of things like clothing, toys and household goods were substantially similar). There's little doubt this software will save most taxpayers many-fold the cost of acquisition" -- ItsDeductible customer
