<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 639209, member: 6370"]yeah...makes one wonder if cloaking historical auction prices might be one reason to only allow the free user to see back a few month tops. It is certainly almost useless to me now and is hiding information that most wont be able to afford now. I am already starting to be priced out of collecting ancients anyway. Its like guns...I cant even find a gun for under 100 bucks these days, even at gun shows...A gun I bought years ago for 200 dollars cant be found for under a thousand now. </p><p> </p><p>I complain and it sux not to have it as a resource but I guess we could just be happy that we had it for free for so long and I was able to learn alot in that time.</p><p> </p><p>My theory: They offer it for 600 USD and people get in an uproar about how expensive it is...then...they knock the price down to 30 and compared to 600 this seems like the best deal ever!! So they get far more people willing to pay for something they used to get for free because its cheaper that 600 bucks!! As compared to just announcing they are making people pay 30 bucks for something they used to get for free. If people think they are getting 600 dollars worth of service for just 30...that makes it more desirable than just being told you now have to pay 30 dollars for something that was completely free yesterday. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I wish, then I could still use it as I would pay for it at that price for sure and I am sure many others would as well...not sure if the money is as important as the information they are hiding from the bulk of collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
