This would be true if it weren't for the fact that eBay doesn't keep their
auction data around for people to make these sorts of analyses.
Auctions are around for something like 30 days. Any longer and the
prices would be irrelavant.
Another reason why I hate them. They obviously aren't doing anything with
the data...why don't they let someone else do something with it? It's not
their data to begin with, in the same respect that they are not content
providers, therefore they don't own the content of each auction.
Who cares? What is there even TO DO with the data? Track people buying
habbits?
That's another thing that pisses me off about
eBay, how they re-define
rules to suit their own greedy purposes.
They are a company.
