Thankfully, I am able to harvest the data automatically (don't ask!)

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?

I specifically designed MISBI.com as an archive of Ebay prices and have no
plans to "incorporate" data from other sources at this time. I accept that
it would be beneficial to have the ability to "reference" additional data,
in which case Bricklink would be the obvious choice.  However, as the new
kid on the block, its not my place to presume.


Also, since it's in part manual, any chance that *used* sets could be added
to the data, given extra "helpers" to verify validity? I realize used sets
vary so much that they have potential to skew the average prices, etc., but
while I don't think I'd do any mathematical averages based on used sets, the
data itself might still be nice to have.

No chance whatsoever :)
See my post in reply to Brendan's question on the same subject.

Cheers
Steve
