Default VCP updating prices

Posted By: Wesley

I agree with the above posters who would prefer to see the inclusion of the ebay BIN sale prices. Any concern about whether these are legitimate sales can also apply to ebay auctions and sales from major auctions as well. I think they are every bit as legitimate as auctions and do in fact reflect market price.

When so many of the auctions are shilled, the prices may not really be as accurate a reflection of the market as we all think. On ebay, Mastro or whatever, you can have two particularly exuberant registry competitors driving up the price, that is not necesarilly an accurate reflection of the market.

Perhaps the solution would be to list the prices with a notation that the sale was through a BIN. Then the VCP users can take that into account as they deem appropriate. As a subscriber to the service, I cannot help but to think that more information is better.
