Ebay concluded auctions

How do you go back through the concluded auctions on ebay to track an old sale? There was a '69 W31 on there about 1 1/2-2 years ago that I thought I had saved. Well, I don't have it saved anywhere. This was a complete but very rusty car with paperwork. Thanks.

You probably can't. Ebay keeps completed auction info available for about 30 days or so. Sometimes you can get access further back than that if you have the item number. Otherwise, the data is not available that I know of.

In any case, go to Advanced Search and note the check box for Completed Auctions.

That's why I "print" a copy of any interesting auctions recently completed into a PDF using Adobe Acrobat. If you don't have a way to do that, you could always print a hardcopy. If higher resolution pictures are available through the auction page, I download them individually and store them in directories for each car.

I know the car and who bought it. What did you need to know? I can not give his contact info but may be able to help if it is something that don't require contact info. I have a 69 W-31 engine sitting in my garage that the same guy bought.

I don't recall the color (red?), but I thought that I had saved it to my computer. I wanted the sale price to use as a reference for mine (rough and needing resto).
In any case, go to Advanced Search and note the check box for Completed Auctions.
I did that a couple of weeks ago, with no luck.
