What I want to automate is the searching of three web pages daily (ebay,
cl Houston, cl Austin) for a specific bicycle and emailing to my wife if
that bicycle is found.
The web pages will always have the same address.
I think I've got the searching and emailing covered, but I don't know
how to get the pages downloaded to my computer so that I can perform the
search.
Help or suggestions on any of this appreciated.

One word? wget.
Although - how are you doing the searching and emailing? If you're using
some scripting language, it's possible it already has downloading
capabilities.

You don't mention your operating system. That's a rather relevant
information in order to give a proper answer. (For example linux has
already all the necessary tools to do that, in Windows you probably
need to download additional software.)

How about HTTrack (if you're using Windows <=XP sp2)?
