websites claiming to help work the trade post
From what little info google has on it, it seems legit. Note that it does not have the direct approval of ArenaNet. ArenaNet just allows parsing of their trading post website, which they could take away or limit at any point in time, which is what this program is relying on.
Is it worth it? From what I can tell from screenshots, it’s essentially just gw2spidy but it in real time and the profit margins are spelt out for you. They claim to refresh their data every minute, which is like 426 requests a second or 852 if they’re pulling all the data (assuming they are in fact using real time data and not ArenaNet’s cached data). They either have multiple accounts on different IPs to pull the data, or I wouldn’t doubt it if they get blacklisted by ArenaNet for spamming, which wouldn’t hurt you, but would cause a loss of service for the program.
But is it actually worth the cost? Well, from what I’ve seen, I made the same program in about 30 minutes, so probably not, so you’re basically just buying your way into their forums. For someone that doesn’t want to waste time looking through the TP and doesn’t know even basic programming (you could even write it in javascript), it’s probably worth it.
What it will get you: Assuming mine and theirs does roughly the same thing, the program will allow you to make around 100g a week, casually, as in you “play” the TP once, maybe twice a day for 10 minutes, with a very low risk of losing money, unless you’re intentionally being risky.

How about you post your little program for us to use? ;-)
If it wasn’t for the real money cost, I would be tempted to try it myself. I’d hate to pay real money for something that might soon fail.
