This "holy trail" is just so much nonsense to the majority of the world, and most people would never have done any research on what they thought was a pretty straight forward item. Was someone right to have given the seller a heads up? Depends on their motives, it doesn't look like someone has just said I'll give you £100 for it, but it does look like some real information has been given along with a "reasonable" BIN price.All conjecture on my part, but I reckon I'd be willing to take a neg and a bit if internet flak if it meant selling an item for over $3500 more

I can think of a couple times where I listed something for $5 instead of $25, etc. etc. I honored the sale because not only was it the right thing to do, it was my screw up not the buyers. I sent a quick email stating 'nice catch!' and went on about my businessHell I just did it yesterday. I had Batman the Dark Knight Book Two up and had listed it for $6 (easily worth 3x that.) Don't know what happened, but some comic collector got a good deal because of my screw-upDone venting

I felt like the airport drug smuggler from Midnight Express as I made the walk from the cash register to my vehicle. My greatest score ever, but even today I feel guilty about it.

How do you research an item that hasn't sold in the last 90 days, as everything after that drops off their searches? Additionally, the Acaeum price lists are often inaccurate.

It's a third-party affiliate (I forget the name; something with a "T-", but probably owned by eBay) that will sell you sales data on a subscription model. It's not cheap.Foul
