			| way to improve the "Sell Price" search (beta) | Thu May 01, 2008 10:28 AM |  |  |  |

		Hi from paris/france
 At first, thanks +++ for your job, great, really
 
 the "Sell Price" search is a very interesting feature. You might improve it by allowing search worldwide (not only ebay.US).
 You may restrict the area trough a list with all the ebay sites and a comboBox and multiselect (or N checkboxes).
 
 It will be interesting to focus on the searching period (last month, last 3 month...)
 
 Regards ans 10000000000000 apologises for my poor english language level

			| Another idea.. | Sun May 11, 2008 10:34 PM |  |  |  |

		My idea for more accurate market averages:
 
 Disclaimer: The %'s may need to be tweaked..
 
 1. Take all prices based on a search and get the average.
 2. Create a range that is 66% to 133% of this average..
 
 Example: A search for 'Widget' might return 200 results with an average price of $50. The range for $50, with the above %'s, is $33.33 to 66.66..
 
 3. Now average out the search results that fall within the newly created range..
 
 What this would do is pinpoint a more precise average by removing auctions that probably shouldn't be included in the average.. For example, broken items that sell for 50% or less, multiple same-item auctions, or auctions that are lots (such as a console system that comes with games and accessories)..
 
 Another idea could be to eliminate auctions that contain certain strings, like -"as is" -"broken" -"lot"
 
 Hope this helps!

		I personally do it like this:
 I search for something, and then I see some items which do not really belong to my results, then I exclude it from the search and search it again.
 Unfortunately, I can't guess the percentage and guess what is your range... maybe you are looking for something below the average?
 
 Try to exclude words. For example:
 you don't need "as is", then put it like this:
 widget -"as is"
