SCD AUCTION DATABASE PRETTY DARN NIFTY
Posted by Chris

I was just checking out our new Realized Auction Lot Database at www.scdauctions.com, and thought it would be cool to lay out the highest selling items sold in the past two years, by player.
I picked out my favorites list and listed the results below. The one piece that stood out the most to me was the Bobby Orr jersey.
I would advise everyone to play around with this neat tool. It is free and can be very useful.

Hi Chris,

I like the tool, but I would not go as far to call it "nifty" yet. The search criteria box seems to be too precise. For example, there was a PSA 9 Bart Starr RC that recently sold for $16K+. I typed in "PSA Starr" and nothing came up. I typed in "Starr" and it did. After tinkering around with the tool, I learned that it will only pick up exact text strings, unlike eBay where you could type either and it would find the item.

I'm not sure what involvement you have in this tool, but if you could pass along this info to the programmer(s), I think it's a much needed enhancement so folks don't miss out or give up on what they are searching for.

Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks Chris,

Ned

Ned,
I agree with your comments... People who use eBay are used to the eBay search function, as we use it every day.

Thanks for the input and I will send your comments up the chain.
