Hi ~ I am finding my ebay sales are sooo slow right now, thought I would give Bargain & Haggle a try !
I listed some items but was trying to find the search completed or sold to see what is selling in my catagory but can't seem to find it !!
Anyone know ?? Appreciate your help !

Hi, The only way you can find out is to go to the area you are interested in and check out the feedback of the other dealers.
You can not find out what the finel price was on any deal. Just weather the deal was good or bad. Also, you can only compare
starting prices. Every deal is different!
Hope this helps?

Yup, every deal is different! Sometimes you run up against tough and savvy negotiaters that will bargain down the final price, and other times you'll get a person that will accept the initial listing price. Ya never know what the next negotiation will hold! For instance I list this one item for $30+ repeatedly, and some negotiaters have talked me down to under $20, whereas others have agreed to the initial $30+ price for the exact same item. Each deal is done 1 on 1 so I prefer keeping my past negotiations secret so as not to adversely impact my current deals. If buyers knew how low I was willing to go for certain items based on my past negotiations, they'd definitely use that information to their benefit and my profits would sink!
