Default VintageCardPrices...new features

Posted By: Bobby

Andrew,

There will be times when we miss auctions. First, there is the human element and mistakes are going to happen, we have devoleped a back end system for making sure the cards are properly listed through the site which was up in the middle of May. Currentley in the process of developing a better search tool for the admin's to add cards to the auction watch which will better deseminate the data on eBay. Second, we are at the mercy of eBay and they are not always functioning at 100%. Lastly, before the site went live we charted all the data manually on spreadsheets that later got uploaded into the site. After analyzing the data for over 400 sets there was information that could not be 100% definite on so we omited it from the data base. We have missed auctions rarely usually auctions that are graded cards listed in the raw sections of eBay which we do not watch. The members notify us and we verify the information and then add it to the system. We are very open and approachable if there is a problem we take care of it ASAP...we are not 100% but being 99.9% is a pretty good standard.
