| | | I was bored at work the other day, so I wrote a couple of little scripts, just to see what would happen. Ebay stats - I was wondering if I could make some sort of meter of the auctions on ebay, somewhat like the dow jones... Here's what I found: (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

| | | | | I'm interested in this information. LEGO-VOL has the dollar sum of auctions that ended in the past seven days: $61431 x 52 weeks = nearly $3.2M / year. Wow. To me, that's a lot of money. But to TLC, I assume it is not- TLC had $1.3B 1999 total (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)

| | | | | | | Well- the Dow Jones was named after Charles Dow and Edward Jones. I think you should name your tracking indices after yourself... or some famous celebrity in the world of Lego.
