Add real time price updates of items.

aboutkab 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 4

It seems that prices on the website stagnate a lot and do not reflect the real value of items, also a lot of items just do not have prices shown. Even though I added a lot of eBay listing to some of those items.

We are constantly updating the values of items but we prioritize value updates based on popularity of the items.  Doing real-time updates wouldn't be practical because the value of the items doesn't really change with every single sale.  There is fluctuation, but most of that is due to differences in sellers, the condition of the item, etc.  

If you give me examples of some items that don't reflect the real  value on eBay I can definitely investigate though.  There is always room to tweak and improve so if you give me concrete examples I can look into them more and hopefully improve our system.

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for getting back to me.

Well in that case I will encourage you guys to keep doing what you are doing !

But there are at least 3 games in my list whom I consider to be worthy of being updated:

Cho Aniki on the JP PC Engine CD
Götzendiener on the JP PC Engine CD

D on the PAL Sega Saturn

I will leave the decision to you if you want to keep those up to date. I myself try to update/edit items where I can.

Thanks anyways for your great efforts, as soon as I have a credit card I will gladly take a subscription on the website !

Your welcome.  We will keep at it and keep looking for sales for all the games on the site.  

I manually forced a revalue on those PC Engine games because I'm guessing you added some sales data for them.

I manually added some sales for D as well.  It is a harder one to grab sales for because the title is so short.  We have too many false positives on those short names so adding them manually is our only work around.

Yes, I indeed added some eBay sales. I just checked again and added some more for good measure.

I see that the one in the link you sent already shows value. 

Thanks a lot !
