Quick Help File

 
    The program allows you to search for data on all completed e-bay slide rule auctions.


    The first three lines allow you to search for slide rules by maker and model.

    The program recognises common abbreviations for some makers and you only have
 
    to type enough to identify the maker.  Input is not case-sensitive.

    For example, if you put K&E or keuffel in the first line and Decilon in

    the second you will obtain the prices of K & E Decilon rules.



    The fourth line allows you to exclude strings.  For example, to search for

    Fuller rules but not Fullerton rules, you can enter fuller in the first

    line and fullerton in the fourth.


    The price, in US dollars can be entered with or without the dollar sign.  

    Only rules selling above that price are displayed.

    Other currencies are not recognised.



    Only rules auctioned after the selected date are displayed.


    Each line in the database contains a line of the form:

    Date of Bid   Number of Bids   Price Obtained   Text

    By default the whole line is searched.  The search can be restricted to the Text Field only

    by clicking the "Text String Only Search" radio button.



    You may also request prices from British, German and French e-bay.



    The prices from American, British, German, and French ebay are given in Dollars.



    In your chosen category you may also request the minimum, maximum, and


    average price of all items that attracted bids.



    Further, in your chosen category you may also request a bar chart representation

    of the maximum prices of all articles from U.S. e-bay on a monthly basis.


    And, finally, you may request a table of the number of items in your requested

    category sold on U.S ebay.
