strange I just bought it last night haha, its a great tool to see what is selling the most. You can pretty much steal other ebay sellers top selling items and also see how much they sell per week, 30days whitch items. etc. Well worth the $24 in my opinion.

I normally use 'completed listings' etc for stuff like this.
I am looking at that Terapeak site now, looks pretty impressive, I would like to know if anyone has tried it as well?

you should just invest in it its only $24 bucks. You won't truly know until you use it. Its 100x better than completed listings.

I have been using it for 2 years, and a total investment of $400. Nothing else compares to it and it was well worth it. If you can afford the service, do not hesitate. It makes it extremely easy to find new items to sell. Gotta spend money to make money kiddies...
And no, searching "completed listings" on EBAY cannot contend with this service. It goes far more in depth and all the way back to 1 year history. Not to mention, you can also purchase packages for EBAY'S international sites.

I used it every single day.
I follow items, sellers, competitors and most of all since I do sell antique items I can research the items coming up for auctions "before" I even bid or buy them.
I usually research the items coming up, prices, start times, end times, descriptions, key words, category etc and know what to pay for the items and when to list them and how much.
Works like a charm for me.
I make back the 24 bucks with 1 item purchased at an auction easily.
All have it on my phone so when I can out looking around for items at thrift stores, auctions, yards sales etc I can research before I buy it.
Even research all of the new stuff I sell and watch the other sellers carefully with terapeak.
Well, well worth the money.

I prefer Vendio. They have the completed listings as well, but only for the USA, I believe. I don't know if it is better than TeraPeak, it is just that I found it first.
When I find something I'd like to sell, I use it to see how many items are selling and the average prices. It enables me to make better buying decisions.

I've been using Terapeak ever since I found it, maybe 6 months back.
Would I go around telling ebay sellers to go get it?
Heck NO!
The reason being, terapeak is actually soo soo soo helpful, I dont want any of my competitors getting their hands on it.
I actually came across this thread a couple of days ago, and thought about tellimg you lots what you're missing. Then I also read another thread somewhere here about how much dough you suckers are already making on ebay and decided against it, lol.
But I feel like I owe it to this forum to let you all know that NOTHING beats terapeak. Comparing Ebay completed listing search to terapeak is like 6th grade maths compared to rocket science.
I use it almost everyday. I've got a one year subscription which cost me a pretty penny which I could've used to buy a new GHD straightener. But I figured I could get 1 years worth of research which'll help me buy 10 straighteners instead
And although I am all for saving dough and all that jazz, when it comes to Terapeak, go all out. Any money spent on terapeak is money well spent (conditions apply).
And Newtools, you 're right, You CANT go halves on terapeak. Me and my partner tried using it simultaneously 1 meter apart, different IP though, and it wouldn't let us. So doubt it'll work continents apart.
At the risk of sounding like a terapeak salesman, I'm telling you lot, GO FOR IT!

If used correctly terapeak can make you money.
I always know what an item I am going to list is selling and what it is selling for.
Also know the time and day listed, how long it is listed for etc.

@Sandy D ~ last month I opened a booth at a local (Dallas area) antique mall. I am always searching (thrift stores, garage sales, etc.) for items to include in my booth. Do you believe Terapeak would help with my booth as well as my brand new soon-to-be selling @@@@ eb account?

Yes. For both buying and selling in both.
I also sell in many antique malls and Terapeak is based solely on online sales and not booths in a mall, but you can get an idea of pricing. You will find on very good antiques and collectibles you can get a bit more for your items in a good antique mall rather then on ebay.
I always test ebay and if a very good item does not sell for what I want for it on ebay I take it to the mall and usually do better with it. Hint for ya!
I use terapeak on my cell to research items in malls, garage sales, thrift stores and antique auctions before I purchase them. If there is a good auction coming up I have my list ready to go and know what I should pay for the item before I even get to the auction.
Same thing with thrift stores and yard sales. I grab the items I believe I want and terapeak them quickly to see what they are selling for on ebay. Of course in my area people will run you over for a good antique so you have to be moving quickly. :>
Terapeak pays for itself for me in one single auction I attend by telling me what to pay for something at the auction.
Ex:
I researched a 1940s train set that was online with pictures before I went to an auction recently. I found several sets sold for 400+ and a few below 200 so the found the difference was a certain train car that drove the price up. I looked over the pictures and that particular car was on the table at the auction, so I knew I could easily go to 300 on it and still make some money.
I got it for 140 and sold it for 440.00.
When I get to the auction I go up and down the rows of items to be sold before the auction starts and terapeak them to death. Not everything at an auction is shown online.
Hope this helps you make some money at your yard sales, auctions, thrift stores etc.
