What a nifty resource! This is why I love the Lugnet community. They're always coming up with amazing new things. How does it gather the data? I'm hoping you're not manually entering all the Lego auctions into your database. Adrian (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I was one of the lucky few who got a preview of this, and who gave a little prerelease feedback. I was blown away! This is incredibly nifty! It's just the thing for doing "what if" analysis, whether you are a buyer or a seller or both. In (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) So-- I have to ask-- BrickLink has (I assume) similar data, which theoretically would be easier to extract & sort. Any chance that their data might get incorporated into MISBI? Also, since it's in part manual, any chance that *used* sets could (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

Hi Steve and all! (...) I think that this is a WONDERFUL source for Lego collectors or for those who want to start collecting. I think the only thing that I would like to know is why it has to be just MISB or MIB sets? Why can't it be any set (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) If we take December 2002 as an example, there were approx 34,000 listings in the Lego category. Searching through the headings for keywords such as "MISB", "MIB", "UNOPENED" etc is straightforward and produces reliable results, whilst removing (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well-- I don't think I'd expect an exact price-per-condition guide. IE if I have a complete 6980 with decent pieces and a ratty 6080 that's missing some stuff, I could still guestimate given ranges. So if I see that 30 Non-MISB 6980's have (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)

I think that by relying solely on eBay data that this reference will be of limited use. My reasons for this conclusion are as follows: 1) EBay prices don't seem to be particularly representative of anything to me, except sometimes something along (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
