You can search Ebay "Closed Auctions Only" and get that info. Only problem
is it only goes back about 90 days. Not a problem if it is a popular item,
but not much use for the more uncommon items.

Hmm, you are right. That does suck. Another useful resource gone.

When you sell some more common items, Ebay will tell you the average selling
price as a way to help you decide a starting price.

A search of completed listings doesn't go back anywhere near 90 days. I
just did a completed listings search and it goes back to December 27th.
They used to do 30 days and went to 2 weeks a while back. This really
sucks as it is hard to get a value on something that you only see every
week or two on Ebay.

I know Ebay keeps the data for 90 days or more. You can go into feedback
for a user and still bring up listings that are at least 90 days old.
Maybe Ebay licenses access to the old data to third parties to make a
little extra revenue. I can imagine the server load would be huge if they
searched through 90 days or more of completed listings.

Only the fees for Ebay Stores have increased substantially. They didn't
change the listing fees or FVF for regular auctions. They did raise the
fee for a gallery listing $.10, but I don't call that substantial.

In absolute dollars, you are right. Percentage-wise, however,
they are substantial, especially if you sell a lot of low-priced
stuff like CDs. The gallery fee is a 40% increase; 10-day
listing fees doubled.
On the left under search you can choose to see completed items.

Go to Ebay, log in, and then go to Advanced Searches. Click the
"Completed listings only" checkbox and go from there. (Checking
completed listings requires Ebay membership, so you'll -have- to
log in first.)

Didn't think about them licensing the use of the data. That makes sense.

Some of the third party outfits - Vendio? - claim they have searchable
data. Are they just doing the same search available to everyone, or do
they download and store the data? Anyone ever use one of them?

One note to add: It used to work without an account to see completed
auctions, but now you have to loggin to see. John

It doesn't seem to be consistent: sometimes a lot more
than 30 days' worth comes up. At one time, I guess when
the database was a small fraction of what it is now, you
could go back to the Beginning of Time.
eBay just raised their fees very substantially.

If you do a search for items similar to the ones you want to sell, then look
at the yellow box to the left of the items you will see, toward the bottom,
the heading "Search Options." Under that is "Show Only" with several check
boxes. Select the one that says "Completed Listings" and click the "Show
Items" button. You will then get a new list of items for which the auctions
are completed and the final bid price. You can then sort that list
according to date or price in ascending or decending order. Each listing
also shows the shipping cost as a separate item (if available) and also the
number of bidders there were on the item. If an item went unsold, either
because the reserve was not met or there were no bidders, its price is shown
in red.
