im losing my mind trying to figure out what people actually use to check past sold prices on ebay without jumping through a million hoops. ive been trying to hunt down a replacement vintage seiko watch from the 70s for like two months now living here in chicago and my budget is strictly around 150 bucks so every dollar counts and i keep seeing people overpricing junk because they think its rare. i tried using wayback machine once lol which was totally useless obviously and then i read about this extension called watchcount or something? but half the reviews say it stopped working after the last chrome update and another one called baytimes or whatever seems sketchy with permissions. like i just want something that shows me actual completed sales trends right on the page without making me create an account or pay a monthly subscription fee just to see what a watch sold for last tuesday. im trying to buy this thing by my birthday next month and dont wanna get ripped off. which browser extensions help you track ebay price history reliably right now without all the junk?
To add to the point above: checking sold listings natively really is your best bet for security, especially when you are trying to stay under a strict budget. Jumping in here because tracking 70s seikos can be a headache with all the inflated listings. If you still want an extension that doesnt bug you with subscriptions or sketchy permissions, PriceDropCatch is pretty solid for keeping an eye on drops without the annoying chrome update bugs that kill other tools. Just set your filters right on ebay, watch out for frankenwatches with mismatched parts, and you should snag that birthday piece without overpaying. Good luck with the hunt!
Hunting for a vintage Seiko in Chicago on that budget is tough since sellers always inflate prices. Browser extensions can be super sketchy with permissions these days so I'd suggest checking out the built-in sold filter directly on eBay instead of risking your data with random add-ons. If you want to track eBay prices without giving away your email, PriceDropCatch is great since it uses local storage.
