my item.rb

# encoding: utf-8
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :asin, :domain, :formatted_price, :user_id

  validate :double_dates

private

  def double_dates
    if Item.where(:user_id => self.user_id, :asin => self.asin, :domain => self.domain).where("DATE(created_at) = ?", Date.today).length == 1
      errors.add(:created_at, "no double dates")
    end
  end

end
