| Hello,
Bricklink's price guide tool is incredibly powerful, but seems hellbent on
periodic amnesia, resulting in anything older than 6 months not existing at all.
It would be interesting to see graphs of how several items have evolved over
the years, and how the supply of certain sets were exhausted. I also would love
to use it to see if certain parts have ever sold in unreleased colours. Is a
longer price guide history something that has been considered?
(Same with orders really, but I guess it's a limit of the site's servers?)

| Maybe a hybrid model would work. 6 months sales or last 100 sales, whichever
is more.
I think if you have an older set that sells once every 3 months, why not keep
the historical data from years past? For example, this set has sold once new
and seven times used in the last 6 months. More historical data on this would
be great. Even with eight sales, it's still a lot more than some of the much
older sets.
