Expresso Beans Improvement

I had an idea... just like when a poster sells it ads a dot to the chart - we should have the ability to turn on an overlay of ones that shows the posters that havent sold in another color. I think that would be a better gauge of the posters value.

i think i'm following you, but then i think i'm not.

ha - ok so if the poster is on ebay 100 different times... and sells only 4 times, I think it would give us a better idea of how much in demand the poster is... if it sells ALL 100 times then we would know the true poster history. IMO.

[Rob D]

got it. i thought you meant overlapping selling history (graph plots) of posters with various colors (i.e. daveposters floating dave head in blue and yellow) to see what the prices of each color are going for. samsonite...i was way off.

That's a decent idea too...

I think this is a good idea. Don't forget, that all eBay sales history in ebeans depends on someone submitting the auction number.

You can submit auctions on the 'For Sale or Trade' tab of the poster. You get points for it, too! ;)

I have an expresso beans related question.

IS there any way to search the database for posters on a specific date, from any artist?

Thanks!

[DMB22JEEP]

hmmmmmmmmm I dont think so...

[Sochax92]

Love the Dumb and Dumber reference Rob. Watched that movie all the time when I was younger.

Thanks!

You can use the search on the MyPage for the most flexible criteria. If the artist is part of the dropdown list, it makes doing this easier, though not foolproof. Try something like Methane (from dropdown) and then choose the year for the dropdown. That'll help get you close to what you want.

You can then sort more finely by date once the year's result page comes up. A lot of that depends on how/if people entered the date of the show and multiple date posters will hose you up from go. I think the standard date format is MM/DD on the site.

The artist and year will help narrow the field but finding anything on a particular date will be tedious. You're also going to be relying on someone having submitted all the work for that date/artist as well. Lots of variables but good luck with what you're looking for! :)

Quick question.


Why do my PM's on EB stay in my outbox for a random amount of time each time I send one???

Once someone reads/opens them, they are moved to your sent box...

[rickyh24]

Oh so even though its in "outbox" it is still sent? That seems weird. :lol Kinda cool though actually so you can know when people read them. I see why they do it know. Thanks :)

:lol, no worries, they are still sent even in the outbox

[McGinnisM]

Is the "price history" tab to the right of FS/FT new?

[hirschy75]

Ya I noticed it today, personally I think its stupid but....

[clwatt3]

Is the "price history" tab to the right of FS/FT new?

It was nice to see the hrice history and the graph. They go together like peanut butter and ladies, chinese food and chocolate puding...

Wait those dont really go together.

[McGinnisM]

It's still there under detail

[clwatt3]

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/93211

I cant see it here, can you?

[McGinnisM]

The sales graph, right? Yes it's there for me

[clwatt3]

I liked seeing the sales history under the graph is what I meant.

Seems kinda dumb to have its own tab, IMO...

[CBjornson]

Agreed. I like it better when everything was together for the sales graph.

[McGinnisM]

Gotcha. I'd sale to see that graph moved to the new tab and be replaced with thumbnails of all the pictures for that print.

[TDunk]

They have made it so you can't see the price history unless you are logged in.

[DMBTattoo]

interesting...

[DMB22JEEP]

I dont understand the difference in the size of the dots on the new chart.... (under the price history tab) any help would be awesome!

[hirschy75]

I'm just as lost...

[DMBTattoo]

I think the bigger the dot the higher price it was sold for

[vortec42]

I think the bigger the dot, the more posters sold around that timeframe, at around the same price, I think? The Y-axis is the price, so if the size of the dot is the price, I don't understand.

Is this being discussed on their forums at all? I haven't seen it, and can't believe people aren't talking about it...

[DMB22JEEP]

im lost...

http://www.expressobeans.com/members/detail.php/104923/history

what the hell...

[hirschy75]

Well the two small dates have small circles then the two other sales are like morphed into one

[DMB22JEEP]

anyone know what the dots mean yet?

[Badrinath]

Anyone know why it's so hard for people to respond to a messages over there?

[guster14]

It's really hit or miss I think. I haven't had any problems recently, but I've just been PM'ing people who have stuff in the For Sale thread.

[adsheppa]

is EBeans not working at all for anyone else?

[Gary!]

is EBeans not working at all for anyone else?

Not just you. Same thing here too. Sucks... never realized how much I use that site until it's not working.

[DMB22JEEP]

ditto...

[DMBfan]

it makes me mad...I like to watch the members bitch in the forum

[DMBTattoo]

okay good its not jsut me...i was trying to put up Timmy

[PhishDMB]

I think its only the front page. I was able to respond to a PM by clicking the link in my email. I was also able to get into the forum by clicking the link on the broken page

edit. Figures the site goes down the day I'm supposed to pull the trigger on my #1 ISO... Omen?

[rschlad04]

Couldn't really find the proper thread for this, and didn't feel like starting a new one so I thought I'd just ask this here. How does the Expresso average price, lowest price etc work? I ask because I bought the Alpine Moon for $75 and entered it into my expresso collection about a couple months ago, but according to the stats on the poster, the lowest price says $102.51, just curious?

[dythuger]

Did you include shipping or was it damaged? Basically anything out of the ordinary so it would "not be counted"?

[rschlad04]

No, I just entered very good condition, and that I paid $75.00

[dythuger]

sorry, cant help you. definetely odd. I dont know if it has to be "approved", maybe they havent gotten around to it.

[ThePrestige]

Entering it into your collection has nothing to do with average price. All that is personal info.

Prices come from recorded sales. If the seller never recorded the sale it won't come up. (guessing the seller isn't a member.)

Ross you could enter it in as if you were the seller and just in the comments part say you were the buyer.

Otherwise it will go unrecorded.

nice catch, i thought he added it the regular way.

He could have. Just the way I read it sounded like he just put it in his collection.

For member added sales there is definitely an approval period.

ahh gotcha, new to this expresso beans stuff.

[hirschy75]

[dythuger]

[rschlad04]

yah found it burried on ants one day. Couldn't believe it! About as mint as it could be too.
