Is there any way to search ComicConnect past sales? 0

Looking for some info, but it does not appear to be searchable?

As far as I’ve tried, no. However, if you “watch” a specific comic when signed in, it will show in your account after the auction ends, including the sale price. 

If you didn’t watch it, you can try a cached search in Google to get the item ID. Then viewing the comic when signed in should show you the price. (I haven’t tried this)

I tried the google tactic. I got partial results based on books I’ve tracked in the past with tracking bids (but did not win). 

that also means my first tactic only partially works, if I placed an early, low, tracking bid.

Yes, pretty much the same way you would do a search on the HA archives. 

You simply have to type in the name of the book that you are looking for, hit the drop down box and change it from Comics to their historical archives by selecting Sold, then hit the Submit button.  All of their previous auction results and non-auction sales for that particular book will then show up sorted in order of condition grade, whereas the HA archives is sorted by dollar value. 

Only thing to note is that the title of the book has to be exactly as per their database which can sometimes be frustrating.  For example, you have to type in “Master of Kung-Fu 64” with the hyphen and not just simply “Master of Kung Fu 64” without the hyphen. 

The one good thing about their new website is that their auction archives are updated pretty much “real time” even as their auctions are running live.  Much better than their old website which seeming appeared to be done manually as they were often a few Event Auctions behind or just missing a whole ton of books. 

As for the CL auction, they are telling you to go f*** yourselves.

Good to know. That will be helpful for me as well.

Why can't CL add a simple "watch" feature on their auction?

Maybe they did this on purpose to force everyone to bid on a book to "watch" it?
