A call for help with the price guide

I entered in the auctions that Cindy asked me too - even though I did make one booboo, but had a question after I finished today's lot ... Do you want auctions that did not sell (there is a button to check if it did sell, but was wondering if anyone cared how many did not sell) and, I saw after the fact, that some people entered in the Comments Field if it was a BIN (Buy It Now) - should I do the same? I will continue doing this until someone tells me otherwise *lol*

Hey Joanna, Thanks for entering in those auctions. Cindy has passed on your booboo and I have used LucasArts branded BooBooBeGone (this is their home branded tip ex in the adventure game Day of the Tentacle from the 90s... ahhhh!) to amend it

If people do see any errors whilst using the guide, e.g. a decimal point in the wrong place etc, then please do click on the 'report it' option because inevitably errors slip through the net - thanks.

I think we only put in the 'tick here if sold' option so that people could put in any interesting auctions which didn't sell. By unticking that box it ensures that the price is not included in the averages listed, so don't go too far out of your way to include auctions that haven't sold.

Well, from the auctions I entered I didn't bother with those items which didn't sell and I put 'BIN' in the notes section if that was the type of sale the auction was.
I know it slows you down, but I also did a short description if I thought it was worth mentioning a particular feature (pattern, colour that sort of thing) in the notes section too whether they were variants or not, because once the auction listing has expired on ebay that description will be the only thing to differentiate one card from another.

That's how I've been doing my contributions - anyone else care to comment please?


Hee hee good to know we're keeping you out of mischief Roz!

Yay for BooBooBeGone!!  I will enter in the sold auctions then and not worry about the unsold ones - unless they merit some observation. I can enter in the BIN's no problem too Thanks for keeping me honest

Ended auctions tip - if you know the seller go to advanced search and enter their username & click on "completed auctions".  That'll show all auctions for the past 30 days.   If you click on "completed auctions" for that seller's items any other way it's WAY less than that - it looked like 7 days...

*bump*

Now that OOTP cards are out there is a great need to get those auctions into the price guide.  Right now there is an ENORMOUS amount of Potter cards on ebay.  If everyone could make sure & submit all auctions they've A) bid on or B) put on watch (that have ended) I'm sure it would be a great help.

I've got to input at least 50 cards from last week from various sets...

I just entered a bunch of auctions, mostly OOTP and POA/POAU, from my won, didn't win, and watch lists.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[tialessa]

Potter auction help seems to be desperately needed...  I entered in a couple of 3D costumes & less than 10 had been entered for each.  Between 3D, OOTP, and SDCC cards (both exclusive & pulls from goodie boxes) I know *I* am having a hard time keeping them all straight, much less entering them...

I'm trying to enter all completed items from sellers when I buy something from that seller, but I can be a little obsessive that way

[Jon]

I was bored last night and I enetered about 20 OOTP auctions that had finished; the ones Ive bid on, and, at the time, the most recently ended. Ill do more tonight.

[Jon]

Just sent in all the auctions Ive won in the last week.

[kbmum]

Thanks!   I entered about half of my watch list/ended items yesterday.  It was nice to free up some space for the new things I want to watch.

[Jon]

Added more from my watch list as well.

[tialessa]

I input at least 50 auctions over the past week I'd won & had on watch...

I STILL need to go through all the "not won" auctions.

Until the site can be updated with the SDCC exclusive information I've saved the auction links I had on watch on a word document.

(I haven't been watching the exclusive OOTP binder, the P9, the OOTP red foil set, or some of the other stuff)

[Jon]

Just added a heap of more auctions, all OOTP or MM. This is getting kind of fun. I did mess up two, though, so I hope the moderator catches them.

[kbmum]

If you make a mistake on an auction, please send a PM to Roz with the specifics and she'll fix it when she can.

[Jon]

Ive been bored at work, so I entered another 35+ auctions. Just curious; when might we see an update?

Are there any pictures or anything you may need for the price guide? If there are, let me know. I can get scans of the SDCC exclusives if you like.

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Each auction has to be verified by either Roz or myself so that's why there is a lag between submissions and the guide being updated.

Thanks for the kind offer of pictures - anything that doesn't have a picture - we need scans!

Hello Everyone,

I was reviewing the magnificent Price Guide and think that I may have found someting interesting. The Chase cards R1-R9 for GOF and GOFU show the same images for the Fronts and Backs. I also noticed that Jeff (Hi, Jeff) has some similarities in his list for the two sets of R1-R9.
Anyway here are the images for GOF that I have. Anyone who wishes may use them. I also put the GOFU pix here below GOF.

I added some new HP auction data for 3 and 5 Nov as well.

I've been trying to routinely enter HP cards that I've either won or didn't win to the price guide b/c I've been (til recently) mostly OoTP cards.  I'll re-double my efforts to try to include other HP auctions as well.

I entered a lot of auctions this morning and wanted to let everyone know that all of the issues with the price guide have been fixed!  It's incredibly easy to enter the info and there are no more long waits for the data to process and the next page to appear.  Thanks, Mark!
