Diggin: Vinyl Price Search

Stop Searching. Start Diggin. A Chrome Extension that allows you to highlight text on any website, right-click, and instantly see the current market price for that record on Discogs.

✨ Features

• Context Menu Integration: Adds a "Search Vinyl for..." option to your right-click menu.
• Smart Formatting: Defaults search to Vinyl format and Album (LP) to avoid CD or Single clutter.
• Market Data: Fetches real-time "Market Floor" pricing (Lowest Price) from the Discogs Marketplace.
• Mint Condition Estimates: Attempts to fetch suggested pricing for Mint (M) copies when available.
• Smart Positioning: Popup automatically renders above or below text based on available screen space.
• Non-Intrusive: Injects zero CSS into the host page until activated.
