Tool to quickly calculate cost per 1k points

[hypnotiq]

Hey everyone,

Thought I'd post this for anyone that was interested. I got tired of continually launching calc and doing a bunch of computation when I was looking at point auctions on eBay, so I quickly wrote some code that would do it for me.

Feel free to use it and/or pass it along to anyone you think may want to use it.

DISCLAIMER: I don't make anything off of this, simply providing a tool I created for myself to the TUG community.

Thanks,
Nico

No problem guys. If there is something else you'd like to see added to it, let me know.

Quick and easy to use but am I the only one that noticed the calculations are wrong?? 10000 points at 1000 MF is $100 per point?

Edited - my bad, I see that the calculated amount states it is price PER 1,000.

I know it can be done easily on a calculator but as long as this tool is available, wouldn't a price per point be more useful of a figure than price per thousand?

Sorry, I just saw this as we've been without power where I live for 5 days.

I've updated it for the requests. It will now give you:

Price per 1k points
Points per dollar
Price per point

*edit*, it rounds up or down to the 2nd decimal point based on standard math rules.

I agree, I think this should be a sticky...maybe under the buying, selling, renting forum? Might be good to add a guideline as to what a "good deal" (or target range) might be, based on input from Tuggers.

(Of course, I don't own points, so I have no vested interest, but this tool would help me in case I ever want to get into that game....)
