Can't trust Terapeak for research.

I always do my research when I sell something.  I searched Terapeak for Singer Buttonholer 160506, got this result, and was pretty excited.

Sales this year, and I was able to click on the 1st one.  And this is it.

Have I been wasting my time bothering with research since we can't verify any high sales after 30 days?  I'm wondering if this auction had a BIN of $565.  Makes me really question the other Singer attachments I looked up that supposedly sold for $1500.00.  Is this a new glitch or is this the way Terapeak has always worked?

Thank you so much for that explanation!  Someone should suggest to ebay that they remove non completed sales from Terapeak results, or at least flag them as an uncompleted sale.

I just know the eBay suggested selling prices that often pop when creating or editing a listing  are often way off base.  I will go in to lower a price on a listing because it hasn’t sold and eBay will suggest a price for double or triple the price.

And sometimes when listing, the comparable items they're basing the suggested selling price on isn't a comparable item at all.

WHO would buy a Singer buttonhole attachment when you can buy a very good used machine of almost any brand for less than that and most will come with a built-in automatic buttonhole maker?

Right? As someone who sews, this boggles me. These days pretty much any sewing machine you can buy brand new will do buttonholes.
