Changing the Rules - 12/04/00 07:27 PM
I am in a minor huff over eBay's latest gimmick, the "Buy It Now" feature. I think that it significantly alters the nature of the auction and tends to skew the data that I use to get a market fix on the models that I track.
I am at the point where I am seriously considering excluding "Buy It Now" auctions from my Market Watch database . Since I share this database freely, it is as much yours as it is mine (although as supreme ruler and dictator-for-life, I get the final say-so ). Therefor, I am soliciting your input and opinions. Should the BIN data be excluded or not? Why or why not? Thanks for your input.
