Ebay is a crap shoot, so there are really no medians to expect, logically.
One day you can snatch an item for a LOW start bid (provided the seller
isn't using a high reserve), the next you might pay through the nose. A lot
depends on who sees what, when the item(s) are ending and whole pile of
other factors aside from the always present "ifs" involving item age,
condition, numbers pressed and demand for it. There's one up right now in
the UK at 16 gbp, but it has 6 hours until the auction ends. The last 3
seconds are what really tells the story - as most seasoned ebayers will
testify. The prevalence of sniping software out there is further adding to
that trend. Here's the link for the one I mentioned above if you want to
follow it

I guess I would be leery of using one auction to estimate demand and all of
the variegated factors which contribute to an item's final price. If you
check GEMM, you'll see some really vast ranges - many of them exorbitantly
high (imo).

Bottom line : what's it worth to YOU and the seller/buyer? (personally, NO
record is worth all o' dat - but if you have the cash and really want it
that bad, more power to you and PLEASE bid on my auctions! My prices are
far more reasonable :-)
