Terapeak "Sold" data changing over time...

[impactingthegame]

Is there a reason why replicating the same search in Terapeak (including search term, category, condition filter, format, etc.) weeks apart would yield different sold data for the same custom period (say, the first week of August 2023)? I'm doing the initial search outside of the original return period (so that returns should already be captured in the data), and I'm seeing sales drop 10%+ when I perform the exact same search several weeks later, across a dozen or so unique sets of search parameters.

Has the way sales data are reported in Terapeak changed lately?

What appears to be different other than the overall numbers?

just a guess.............terapeak shows info for what 2 years?    Even tho the search period would stay the same......some sold listings may drop off Terapeak completely  due to age......

eBay recently changed the Terapeak range of available data from two years to three years (or so), so I immediately though of that as well, but rereading the original post it sounds like the poster is researching a specific fixed range of data -- the first week of August -- and getting different results now than had been obtained just recently.

So perhaps Terapeak has changed the way the search works, and different results are being shown (or certain results are not being shown at all).

Or perhaps Terapeak is removing particular results for some reason -- possibly because the transactions did not actually complete successfully after all.
