I do see at least some historical data. I haven't checked everywhere of course but there is at least some. All  Select #1. You do have to click a lot to get there.

When I looked at a book with one sale mentioned off to the right, and clicked to open it up, the Total books sold said Infinity/infinity instead of $7900 / $1981.   I was looking at Batman #1 where I saw what Im talking about.  but I hope you're right that its still there...

Going to have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of the new format - it'll take some getting used to. In terms of gleaning all the information you want it is slower and more complicated. I find that  having live auctions mixed in with completed ones in the listing to be confusing and not as user friendly, although there may be a way to calibrate matters that I haven't figured out yet.

I hope I'm right too.  Well, I'm sure there are bugs and lets hope they get them fixed quickly.

[Aman619]

yeah.  its a nest trick to light up LIVE when its on the current auctions list, but I never used GPA as a search tool for buy listings, just recorded sales data

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

One of the biggest uses I had was having multiple years of sales open to compare at the same time. I see now that's not possible. If you click one year's worth of sales, the previous year selected goes away.

Any way to change that? 

[jimjackjett]

I am a nobody in the collecting world but I have to say I hate the new site and format. Why change it ? it was fine the way it was and user friendly. As somebody stated early on in this thread I as well use it everyday for something or another, now I really don't want to use it at all .  I get that nobody likes change esepcially at the start but this is just too much BS to get what your looking for. Confusing , too many steps and then when you get where you think you want to be is it really the right place? Way to much to do and figure out to get a simple answer. I hate how live auctions mixed in as well ? really , keep that separated . Will try to understand better but not a fan and most likely will be canceling subscription unless Im just doing something wrong. If I want mass confusion, multiple steps to get an average sale then I will just do it the old fashion way and save $10 bucks a month.

New GPA is complete garbage.  Old version is much easier on the eyes and clicking.  How sterile and terrible is this new version.

George you scrubbed this up big time. 

 

At least put a BLUE bar next to the universal sales.  That LIVE bar is super annoying.  GPA basically highlights everything expect where the real $ is under universal blue.

And I thought LAST JEDI was a disgrace.

It looks like they did a full ground-up rewrite of the software, including migration to a new database. No small feat.

They were probably at a technological dead end, and were stuck with no way to add new features or grow their platform and business. This just happens in tech, and eventually, if you want your company to survive and progress, you need to bite the bullet and update.

The UI definitely a bit rough, but this can improve over time. I would encourage customers with UI complaints to bring them to their attention.

Amen jimjackjett and NewWorldOrder. Please contact GPA directly as I think it will be more effective towards remediation if they accumulate a pile of customer complaints.

Damn, must be important for a 1 post / 18 months user to show up.

Rewriting the back end is no excuse for changing the UI, particularly without any UAT.

*Not a fan of extra click and then having to back page(esp if wanting to start a new search)
*Can only see one year at a time, can that be changed?

Having done updates to my website with a very good development team I don't understand why a website like this would not ask for input from the people who use it.  I totally get the need to upgrade the back end but the user interface is something that frankly needs some user interaction before you go messing with it.  Just because you the owner like it doesn't mean everybody else will. 

It is very very important to understand the "navigation paths" users take through the site.  Remember the 3 click rule.  If you are clicking a lot most users get bored and don't bother.  Get there quick and get there easily.

If you'd take the antibiotics your doctor gave you, you wouldn't be in there so much.

Maybe you could come over and set the new site up for me.  If I click on the link sent out by gpa, I get a 404 error.  If I cut and past the link in that is provided in this thread, I get a message that the website doesn't exist.

It can be difficult to separate in many cases. 

The old site was based server side code generation.

New site uses data-driven front-end framework with responsive (i.e. mobile-friendly) page layouts.
