While I agree that stuff that sold 2 years ago isn't entirely relevant, I believe that anything within the past calendar year is relevant, which makes 90 days not enough. In many cases, there won't even be a single sale within the last 90 days, which makes it difficult to ascertain market value. For truly special/rare items that only come up for sale every few years, that's when sales from even 10 years ago could help with determining market value.
In short, if I were collecting post-war stuff that has dozens of recent sales, then 90 days would probably be fine. However, I collect mainly pre-war, and 90 days of data doesn't always cut it for me.
Never heard of PriceRealized until just now - going to check it out.
