why do sellers change asking price to sold after a sale?

Even if you see that one sold on here last week for 3K, that does not mean the next one trades for 3K. It means you missed your chance to buy one. 1956 Topps Mantles trade like a commodity. The Anson trades like used euro furniture in a yard sale.

It would still be one more data point in a world of few data points.

I agree, but I view sales that I'm not involved in as none of my business. I don't have a strong opinion on this topic either way. If there's a bargain to be had on here, I'm always too late. I have paid up on here for rare stuff I wanted, and can't remember looking back with regret.
