I use Worthpoint to find pricing for uncommon (I hate the misuse of the word "rare) items that don't show up in Ebay searches. So far, the only limitation I've found with Wortphoint is their lack of shipping costs which anyone who sells on Ebay knows is part of the Ebay price. That is not a serious enough reason for me not to use Worthpoint. A recent example of Ebay failures would be the pricing on Intel MDS system parts. Another example is Lobo Drives/System computers. Or the Lobo HD/floppy disk box. Do I need to go on? Marvin I subscribed to Worthpoint for a couple months and found it kind of worthless (see what I did there). Yes, it let's you go back further than eBay's Terapeak search (which is available free to all eBay sellers and goes back through two years worth of listings) but I found the data to be unreliable, incomplete, and it does not store enough details from the original listing for my purposes. I don't believe it differentiates between listings and actual sold items. In one instance I found one of my own listings, and I forgot what was wrong about it, but it had entirely wrong information. I don't believe it's at all worth $30/month. I'd maybe pay that for a years worth of access. Maybe. Sellam
