VCP or SMR?

I say VCP, Cardminer, and card pricer combined. Card pricer tracks raw cards also.

Funny how many people say to use VCP when some that are selling quote SMR for prices because they are higher, or VCP when its higher.

We have been recording BIN sales for a long time now and now all since eBay did away with the stores.

VCP records the BIN prices from both fixed price ebay listings and auction format BIN listings?

Good question, Jeff. I didn't think that VCP included the eBay "fixed price" BIN sales either. Does it include that now too, Bobby? ...and if so, is that a recent change?

Include me in as one who would like to know as well. Bobby can you please confirm what is and what isn't recorded, and why??

We record everything that is set on a time schedule and has an ending date either fixed or chinese style format. Our only issue is that in the BIN, FIXED or BO posts to VCP after the time set by the seller expires and not the actual day it sold. This is due to the eBay system and there is nothing we can do about it.

So, are you saying that ALL of the BINs on eBay are recorded - regardless of the format - and that it is only a matter of a potential "date of sale" inaccuracy that gets recorded?

Personally, having the exact date of sale isn't as critical to me (as long as it is reasonably close). Making sure that all of the eBay BINs get included in the data is much more important.

So VCP is unable to record price data from fixed price listings? That is a shame, since these types of sales make up such a large percentage of transactions on ebay.

If VCP can somehow figure out a way to get around this, it should try to post all the information available, and not be selective.

Matt,

Post #23 is confusing, at best.
