Well,

it depends. If, for example, one tag has a class and it is unique- it is one function, but if there are multiple tags, you need to think and create your function based on tag location, another situation when there are no tags and you would have to count html elements; you might also need to loop over tabe rows for example.

Example below does similar what you need. (not sure if it still works, since if there was a change in the page layout, it might fail.) But it gives the idea and you can go from there.

PS – when asking questions please give exact problem, not the vague explanations.

                String openUrl = @"http://www.ebay.com/sch/-/11724/i.html?_nkw=" + some_part_number + "&_armrs=1&LH_Complete=1";

                HtmlWeb hw = new HtmlWeb();
                hw.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)";
                HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = hw.Load(openUrl);

                foreach (HtmlNode nd in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//tr[@itemprop='offers']"))
                {
                    String title = "";
                    title = Regex.Split(nd.InnerHtml.ToString(), ("title='"))[1].Trim();
                    title = Regex.Split(title, "'")[0].Trim();
                }
