When do you think the 3DS will get the next price cut?  My launch day 3DS is starting to go bad (buttons losing responsiveness).  I don't think I want a 2DS, but I'm hoping I can get a good deal on a 3DS when the time comes.

Love the feedback. Thank you. 1) Lot calculator like that would be cool. Definitely take more development to know what is in each lot. 2) I'm pretty sure consoles are included too, but I will double check. 3) We do have plans to add a filter results by % savings in addition to $ savings...

Thanks for comments about shipping cost.  I will look into those and see if we can make it more consistent. We added a pretty big feature today -> We now show auctions ending in next 90 seconds with prices below market value Auctions will have a light green background and they will follow the...

If a seller has an item listed with shipping calculated by location then we cannot estimate a shipping cost, so we assume $0 for calculations - better to give users more info so they make the decision instead of removing listings that could be a great deal. Unfortunately eBay doesn't make it...

Can you give me an example so I can look into it? Are you saying that a game was listed for a price lower than our estimated price but nobody bought it? Right now we do not factor in sales without a buyer, but that would make sense to consider if it is lower than our estimated price.

Very flattered that I helped motivate you into your career in video games. Wii Fit, and other games with bundled items, are a continued nuisance because people will list their items in the wrong place. Wii Fit with Balance Board will be listed in 'Game only' section or vice-versa. We have...

In most cases there is no way to know if the buyer actually paid. eBay does not report that information anywhere on their site. So we use the price that the auction closed. Yes, there are times when the auction ended and the price was inaccurate because of shill bidding but on the vast...

Feature Update: We added the ability to take into account the shipping cost.  The eBay Sniper will increase the 'cost' by the shipping amount and decrease the savings by the same amount.  What we show as the cost should match exactly what you would pay for the item. You enable this option and...

Yep. We use the condition and product the seller chooses when they list the item. If they get that wrong, our savings will be wrong. We always recommend the buyer spend a brief moment looking at listing details before buying.

We added a filter by console feature to the tool.  This was the most asked for feature from our user survey.

The same thing happens to me every time I won a listing at $0.99. Seller refunded after seeing they used fixed instead of auction. If you can let me know about any of these inaccurate prices so I can investigate and fix them that would be awesome. Thanks.

Yeah, you have to act really fast. Even when I was just using this during testing I only won about 25% of the games I wanted to. There are quite a few users of the tool now so that means you need to be even faster. I wrote an article with some tips on how to speed up the process as much as...

Thanks for the feedback. I will check with the developer but 1 should be doable. 2 would be quite a bit harder but I can definitely see the value to it. I will mention that one to him as well, but I don't think we will be able to roll that one out any time soon.

Great feedback. This has been the most requested addition so far. We are working to make this happen and hopefully can have it shortly. We are working to integrate shipping costs too so it will be included in the calculation of the savings. Thanks for the feedback.

We created this tool last week and it is right up CAG's alley.  The tool tracks every video game auction on ebay and updates the page when one is found that is a good deal.  A good deal is either: a) a Buy It Now price below the market value. b) an auction ending in next 90 seconds with bid...
