"Normal Optimization" LOL!!!
Your entire business is designed on providing data to your customers. You then redact a large percentage of that data?
Nothing normal about that.
There's a multitude of different reasons why they would do something like that. Without getting into possible conspiracies (which may or may not be valid), the most obvious would be some kind of a cost cutting measure.
Cost of additional servers to archive that data. Cost of licensing to provide that data from Ebay or other sources. Cost of additional employees to corral, corroborate and archive that data, however they might be doing it.
It would be nice if they were upfront about it one way or another. The fact they cloak it in a phrase like "Normal Optimization", is what makes people think their explanation is likely suspect.
The idea of Worthpoint has always intrigued me. Been tempted to dip my toes past the paywall, but couldn't ever seem to justify the cost to myself. This pretty much settles it.
