New and easy way to get eBay completed auction sale prices

[bradical]

Check out the site sortsof.com - All sorts of listings for all sorts of people. In the upper right hand corner, do your regular eBay search.

Once the panel comes up - you are able to filter by completed auctions.

Viola!

You rock! Thank you sir.

You can also see Best Offer accepted prices.

Now you can view more than one at a time, just by searching again.

Pretty nifty way to compare and contrast sales....

Is this your site?

If the completed items search gets overused the feed will stop. Ebay has a 5000 completed item API query cap in place. There's big money in the completed auctions data. Ebay is looking to protect that at all costs.

The completed API is pretty glitchy - I actually use their RSS feeds, much better - and no caps.

Sweet, it even shows best offers accepted on multiple item listings.

Gotcha. Cool. Hope that works out for you given the rss feeds are not to be used for programatic access. At least that's what eBay told me. But i'm not saying nothing .

I would love to have the problem with 5,000 requests per day through the eBay API. In my initial test through this and SportsCardsList.com - I found the FindCompletedItemsRequest to be very slow and sometimes unresponsive.

Haha..True. 5000 request would be nice. I use the other API's a ton and all are very responsive. Maybe they purposely sabotage the findCompletedItems Call. Could be the way you interface with it as well. Were you using post or get?

I tried both.

I mixed them both with XML and JSON responses and it seemed like there was no clear cut way to get a solid response.

It should now automatically count down and remove auctions that have ended from the tabs. Pretty slick!

Sweet

Updated the functionality. Now the site should save your searches when you leave the site.

 

[bradical]

Added an infinite scroll to the tabs - now when you reach the bottom of your listings - another 100 auctions will be brought in from eBay.

This is cool.....



As a backup, I am using ebay.ca. and it is working
just change the ebay.com to ebay.ca. (dot ca dot) and you get the final best offer prices

Unfortunately, this method no longer works for many, including myself.

[MENTION=3478]bradical[/MENTION], Great job with the site. Very useful! One quick question, I am unable to find certain completed listings on sortsof.com that are showing up as best offers on Ebay. One item in question ended on March 11th, is that too far back for sortsof.com?

[MENTION=1928]Y4NK335[/MENTION] try it now. I updated the completed listings to show more than 100 results.
