This may seem like a good thing to buyers, to have the cards reflect lower prices. But shouldn't VCP be fair to both buyers and sellers.

Again, I don't have the service, so if I am wrong, I would like to know.

Hi Cy,

Yes it does. There is a column right next to price that is called "Bids". For Ebay, a buy-it-now is recorded as BIN in that column. Auctions have the number of bids recorded. That info appears to go from present back as far as partway through 2007.

Cheers,
Blair
