Searching E-Bay for a price history
« on: January 04, 2012, 12:44:40 pm »
Folks have made reference on this forum to checking E-Bay for the "sale/price history"  of a given item.   I haven't  been able to figure out how to do that.  I need a tutorial.  Can someone help with that?

on any ebay page on the right top there is a blue 'search' button-right next to that is an 'advanced' clicker-go there and fill in the neccessary boxes.

One of the necessary boxes to check is "completed" so you can see what items actually sold (or didn't sell) for. ePay used to let users view completed auction data for several months - now you have to pay for that "feature".

Search for what you are looking for like you are looking to buy/bid. When you get there, look directly to the left of the first item listing for the vertical strip menu titled "Categories" (not the "Categories" pull down menu at the top of the page) and follow that side strip down to "Show Only". The third checkbox under the "Show Only" heading is "Completed listings".
Check that box and the ended auctions will load, both sold and unsold.
I don't think you even need to be signed in.
