Value graph / sales history

[foundation]

Thanks for your reply! Of course, as a past database developer myself (medical imaging) I know how you have to balance user needs with time to code. Just throwing out ideas here based on how I've been using the site.

I'm thinking you use the date of the time the price data was added to the database when no data is entered, or sort the no date info as the oldest but without sales dates from WC or DA I can see how most wouldn't have dates.

Re: fetching from ebay, perhaps more people would use the ebay connection feature, if it was dual purposed to also allow users to grab the purchase price, acquire date, etc from ebay when they do "got it"

side note, when doing got it, it'd be nice to have a "remove from want" checkbox. I saw in another thread there's a transfer from want to collection button, but when I buy something I usually just find the model number on the box, search for it, then to got it, and there's no "remove from want" ability in the search results.

Few points here.. Yes I agree that sorting by time would be better, the problem that we will run into is when there are no dates. A lot of people who use the collection database put in false dates, incorrect dates, or no information at all. W/out that data how do we sort? On top of that, we don't get sales dates from WC or DA, so that doesn't help.

On the topic of more retailers, please let us know who you'd like to see on here and we'll reach out to them.

There is no way to accurately get data from eBay other than having people enter the IDs, in which case the ID is only valid for a certain period of time. So yes this could be done, but the # of people that would use it vs the time to code it would have to be weighed out.

I find the sales history part of the database very valuable, however, the graph isn't very helpful because it seems to be sorted by ascending order of price, rather than time. The value of these jets seems to increase quite a bit after they sell out, so knowing when the sales were transacted would be great.

Also, more data from outside waffle and diecastairplane would make it more useful. One way to do that would be some way to add ebay transactions that match the model number. I know the models available on ebay isn't an exact science, so maybe users could add ebay item ids, and the system could retrieve the sales price for that item id.
