I thought it would be interesting to analyze the public eBay sales activity of Auction Depot L.A. (auctiondepotla1 on eBay) and their Entertainment Memorabilia items consigned/authenticated by Global Antiques over the course of two weeks, using eBay’s “Search: Items By Seller” feature.
The following analysis looks at 14 days of listing/sales activity on eBay by Auction Depot L.A., with auction end dates between May 5-May 19, limited to the items listed in the category “Entertainment Memorabilia”, and limited to completed auctions only, having ended within that time period.
Within that two week time frame, eBay reports 361 listings ended.
Of the 361 listings that ended in the two week period, 330 sold and 31 (less than 10%) went unsold.
The prices realized for the 330 items sold amounts to over $15,000 (not including shipping or other charges), or an average of about $1,000 per day over the 14-day period.
The average price realized: $46.81
The average number of bids per item: 7.45
The prices realized range from the opening bid amount of $9.99 up to $605.00.
