valiantman Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 I see these instructions are also described on watchcount.com from August 2020: http://www.watchcount.com/ebay-best-offer-sold-price.php#Aug2020upd8 It hasn't been a big secret or anything and it has been mentioned in these forums before, but I'm sure the information has been mostly floating aimlessly in the endless sea of noise that is... the internet.

Lightning55 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Thanks for the tip. Watchcount hasn't been producing any useful results lately, just showing the full price. Flipper tools says that site is down due to abuse. This works, so if at least one method is working, the mysteries are unlocked. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe eBay is using the original price to show volume of sales to Wall Street, and they don't want anyone knowing that it is significantly less, if it is. I'm surprised we can still see Sold prices at all on eBay. Try to see one on Amazon. I'm glad they are on eBay, at least something to go by. kav 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mtlevy1 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 If you bring the book up in a sold search with some other items you will be able to get a tight range on the price - as it sorts it by the actual price sold not the ask grebal 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah just wait til' they try to go BIG DATA and charge for the information like everyone else. Hell, that worthpoint website has been making a business out of archiving ebay prices and charging for it for decades. Link to post Share on other sites

It worked for a while, but I guess Ebay got complaints that their sold listings were "out of order". ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jsilverjanet Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I thought this thread was to suggest that best offer isn’t always there to make an offer lower than a starting price Link to post Share on other sites
