Exactly. There is nothing obvious to me to trigger off of to even ignore it.

So, i did not update this intentially so you could see this. Click on the history and then click on the "Sale history" text to see all the listings. It is there, just not of interest to most people. So when you enter the number again, it is ignored.

The fix i put in before will only apply to auctions not already in the system.

Ok, I fixed the problem with the ebay not returning the best offer value. I had to make an additional call in to get the bidders details. What a pain in the ass, but lets hope that does it.

There still seems to be a problem with "Best Offer" auctions. I wasn't able to add auction number 220021947417.

Huh?! Why must you torment me so? I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't see the price there. How is this not of interest "to most people"? Granted I did have a few beers at the Padres unfortunate victory tonight, but still......

Simple, the reason you cannot add it is because it is already there. The reason you did not see it is because the system already has it marked as "No Bids".

Why is it marked as "No Bids"? It was purchased with a "Buy It Now". This is what I have been talking about all along. Can you please elaborate?

yes, this auction:
140023892397

is not reflected in the price history here:
http://www.expressobeans.com/show.php?id=16338&view=4

however unlike some of these BINs, this shows up in the tracker as sold, not "no bids".

I don't want to update this particular sale again and force it sold until thomas can address this.

So it's a bug right?

Flimby · Wed Sep 06, 2006 10:39 am

all I know is that this is something that only thomas can address, it is beyond my pay grade

This is not a bug: it was bug. We do not allow members to add auctions that already exist. Only the EB team can do that. This auction was recorded "before" i improved the ebay code. Long story short, it all works fine. Auctions that were added "before" I fixed it can only be updated by eb team members.

So if the auction ended with a Best Offer such as 270026630411 (which is being tracked on Expresso Beans) how long does it typically take before it shows up under the Price History section?
