I think we are talking apples and oranges. I use Worthpoint to find pricing for
uncommon (I hate the misuse of the word "rare) items that don't show up in Ebay
searches. So far, the only limitation I've found with Wortphoint is their lack of
shipping costs which anyone who sells on Ebay knows is part of the Ebay price. That
is not a serious enough reason for me not to use Worthpoint.
A recent example of Ebay failures would be the pricing on Intel MDS system
parts. Another example is Lobo Drives/System computers. Or the Lobo HD/floppy
disk box. Do I need to go on?

I subscribed to Worthpoint for a couple months and found it kind of
worthless (see what I did there).
Yes, it let's you go back further than eBay's Terapeak search (which is
available free to all eBay sellers and goes back through two years worth of
listings) but I found the data to be unreliable, incomplete, and it does
not store enough details from the original listing for my purposes. I don't
believe it differentiates between listings and actual sold items. In one
instance I found one of my own listings, and I forgot what was wrong about
it, but it had entirely wrong information.
I don't believe it's at all worth $30/month. I'd maybe pay that for a years
worth of access. Maybe.
