I find this is pretty useful as well, for photo gear and lots of other things. Note carefully that Lea said "sold"; just looking at buy-it-now prices tells you more about sellers' optimism than actual value, sometimes. But there's a button in the left column of search results pages that lets you show only *completed* auctions; that shows you prices people have actually *paid*, and that means something. Only for the last month or something, though; so if an item isn't being sold very often, you may not be able to find anything. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
