I have expeienced strange things happen to my prices last couple of years. I
have lot of parts, some have been there for many years and new also. It seem
like the problem was worst last year. Like some were able to tamper with prices,
making some of the items in order cheaper. Later i found some of my parts were
extremely high, like the malign activity also included a leveling to make it
appear as untampered, making the total inventory value the same.

Now i sold a part again that seem around half the price i normally would keep
it. To check that it would be nice to see the history on the item. But there
seem to be no information left after an item is sold. The date listed and listing
number seem to be gone. Would be nice to be able to access that information,
and also history on listed price over the years. Is some of this information
available somehow?

Some parts i had listed for over 10 years.

Thanks in advance

I've never had or heard about BrickLink "changing price" of any lot.

And of course you've not kept copies of your Inventory with a timestamp,
like as XML or BrickStore files?

What can probably happen:

* you remember another price, but it's an error,

* PGuide has changed a lot for some parts especially after 10 years, so this
part which was cheap is now very expensive, or the opposite, giving you a false
indication of a price change when it's a change in the available lots sold,

* you've manually changed those prices, or have uploaded some with another
price and used consolidation.

I can't believe someone has hacked you and simply changed a 0.15€ part to
0.30€ - we can exclude this.

And no, there's no way to check this history and especially why it changed.

If you search for the item name in your emails you can see when you sold that
and the sale price.

Also if you hover the image of the sold lot in the order you can see the lot
ID, then you can download your inventory in Brickstore and sort by LOT ID, the
nearest one can be checked to see an estimated listing date of the soldout lot,
not accounting last sold and or additions.


  
Some parts i had listed for over 10 years.

Thanks in advance
