Hi All,
Love the site and what you have accomplished.
I would like to see a little more in terms of trending. For example, we can see value changes but it would be great if we could give a date range. Up to 1 year in the past. Could be drop down with options like 1,3,6,12 months selections.
I would like to see longer term trends like how has spider-man 152 changed over the last 5 years. Maybe a graph.
This all assumes you are keeping the history of prices and snapshots over time.
While some people simply want to catalog their comics, there are those (not me yet but getting real close) who are more interested in values and selling. For example, I would like to know, oh...these comics I have are hot/trending right now. Gone up 25% over last 3 months. Oh...these comics I own have risen in price by $25 during last 3 months where I can set the dollar amount.
The goal is to see what in my collection is increasing and potentially hot. There are all kinds of other statistical ways you could present data but these are a few I've thought about.
I throw this to the crowd for other ideas.
Hope everyone and families are doing well.

We are gathering more and more data each year and trying to determine how to best use it. For example, I wrote a blog post on Miles Morales recently with the number of searches each month for the last 2.5 years and the value for the last 5 years. Right now, we are just playing with the data.
There is a hot list on the front page that we change quite often but it's not the level that you're looking for.
Welcome to the site,
Ron

Thanks Ron.
We have talked in the past and it's been years since I last posted but throwing some ideas out again. I want to see gains (and painfully losses) on my collection. Be able to see top 25/50/100 gains and losses over a period of time. All in the interest of selling at the right time. If ASM 300 has hit $1000 I would like to trend it over the last 1 to x months/years and see the progression. Without a doubt this is more complex stuff but I'm throwing ideas as I would like to analyze them.
Right now one looks on Ebay and other sites to gather what's hot and selling. If someone has been looking at ASM 300 over 5 year period then a trend can be formed.
If the data is available then this kind of thing can be done. The key point being are you keeping a history of prices. If not, I suggest you do. Opens many possibilities (think graphing). This is taking a comic book and basically treating it like stock from the stock market where I can see how a company has been trending over some period of time.
Thanks for listening and keep up the good work.
