Has Anyone Found a New Way to See 'Best Offer' Sold Prices?

Many people don't realize that many non-BO prices are also being reported wrong. If the seller doesn't take offers, but someone sends them a message through PMs on eBay, the seller can make a lower offer through that. I am pretty sure that does not get reported with a slashed-through sale price to let anyone know it didn't actually sell for the initial BIN price.

I agree. I get many of these offers, and I accept many of these offers. Also, the limited data that is gleaned from these eBay Best Offers doesn't include the millions of transactions that are made at card shows, or that are made on Net54 or Blowout, or at the National for that matter. So, you may think there is a set market price according to VCP or Beckett, but in reality, no one ever knows the true market price.
