Ebay has made this a little tougher. They no longer show the actual price a Best Offer item sold for. They just show the Buy It Now price with a line through it. That means I had to skip over several sets sold via Best Offer and only include auctions and BINs.
It was a pretty quiet month. Very few high end sets from the early '70s were sold, keeping those prices down. Actually, the general trend was that most sets saw prices drop. I'm thinking people are focusing more on new 2013 cards right now.
If you want to buy one of each it will cost you $5,858.77, which represents a decrease of $360.24 compare to last month.

I wonder what not being able to see the Best Offer does to the average price. I bet it impacts the price negatively.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is it won't do too much to the averages. BINs are often set kinda high, and then the offers that are accepted are more of a reasonable price. In the past I didn't notice that the best offers were out of line with auction prices. BINs were, but not best offers.
