What is the best PriceCharting alternative for real sold comps?
PriceCharting is a great price guide for video games and cards: it collects eBay sold listings and runs them through its own algorithm to show one market price per item. If you need the actual sold listings behind that number, or prices for anything outside its catalog, CompSniper returns up to 240 real eBay sold listings per request as JSON, for any product, across 8 marketplaces.
