I woud like to see the last known sellingprice for an item, no matter how long
ago it sold.
Now we can only see the sales from last 6 months and the items for sale.

But sometimes an item is no longer for sale and it has been more than 6 months
since a sale, I would still like to know what it was sold for.
Why? For my insurrance policy...


Is it an good idea to change it to what I suggest? How do I make it happen??

Obviously the price guide is just a guide anyway, but there is the downside that
something that sold for example seven years ago will have changed in value. The
idea of the price guide is that it is current. Under your plan if a part sold
765 days ago for $60 and a broken one sold for $10 760 days ago, then only the
last price would show. Whereas if they both sold within six months then both
would show in the price guide indicating one was likely defective.

Keeping single out of date data points is not necessarily better than no current
data. Perhaps keeping the last 10 sales if older than six months and the number
of current points us less than 10 is better.

Always retaining the last 10 sales has been discussed in the past. I thought
that had already voted YES PLEASE on that one, but I don't see it so I guess
that it was discussed only...

So yes, I would like to see the last 10 sales if there were few sales in the
last 6 months.
