I have noticed, twice now in the past month, that even though I have had only increases show in Gains/Drops/Recent Value Change List, my overall totals are going down. Today my overall total dropped by about $400 even though my collection has increased, according to Gains/Drops, by over $400. About a month ago, the same thing happened...I had an approx. $400 dollar loss without anything showing as dropped in price.

Paradox,
There are rare instances when a book can drop in value without it showing up on the gains and losses page.

If we make multiple adjustments to a book and the last adjustment is up then it shows as a gain.

For example, if a book is overpriced at $300 and we change it to $150 and then immediately change it to $200. The price will show as an increase because the last change was upward. Overall the price went down by $100 but the last change was an increase, so it shows an increase. This happens when we are finely tuning the price of a book.

Draven, we've tested this with several accounts, it's working well. The value of your collection rises and falls with each change. (in less than 15 minutes) No, it wasn't part of the change. I personally did not change any X-men books but we have other people making price changes as well. When I look at the behind the scene data I see some increases in X-men books yesterday and some decreases as well. One book increased for certain grades and decreased for other grades.
