I have noticed, twice now in the past month, that even though I have had only increases show in Gains/Drops/Recent Value Change List, my overall totals are going down. Today my overall total dropped by about $400 even though my collection has increased, according to Gains/Drops, by over $400. About a month ago, the same thing happened...I had an approx. $400 dollar loss without anything showing as dropped in price.

Paradox,
There are rare instances when a book can drop in value without it showing up on the gains and losses page.
If we make multiple adjustments to a book and the last adjustment is up then it shows as a gain.
For example, if a book is overpriced at $300 and we change it to $150 and then immediately change it to $200. The price will show as an increase because the last change was upward. Overall the price went down by $100 but the last change was an increase, so it shows an increase. This happens when we are finely tuning the price of a book.

Along that same train of thought... I haven't added any new comics for awhile but check weekly for any rise or drops of any in my collection. I've had more substantial gains and very few losses yet the overall value of my collection stays the same.
Can you please advise?

Draven, I'm currently running a test on your account to see if your value will change. I wrote down your collection value and found a book in your collection that needed a minor price change and made that change. It takes 15 minutes maximum for the database to update that price in your collection. In just a few minutes we will know if there is a specific problem with your account value.

I miss the way you were shown the top gains and drops when viewing your collection by publisher...... that was a useful tool I looked at to determine what and when to sell certain books

Just out of curiosity, a couple of X-men that I own went up in price but the value of my collection didn't. Was that part of the change you spoke of and if so, why did the value of my collection change yesterday but the price change not show until today?

Draven, we've tested this with several accounts, it's working well. The value of your collection rises and falls with each change. (in less than 15 minutes) No, it wasn't part of the change. I personally did not change any X-men books but we have other people making price changes as well. When I look at the behind the scene data I see some increases in X-men books yesterday and some decreases as well. One book increased for certain grades and decreased for other grades.
