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 sales.
ebay's "Lego" market is 0.25% that of TLC's.
The volume on ebay has probably doubled in the past 12-18 months.
If nothing were to change, and the current growth rates of TLC and ebay
were to continue, then the ebay volume might reach 1% of TLC's market
in 3 to 4 years.
It will be interesting to track this information,
especially with LEGO Direct coming online,
and to guess whether or not LEGO Direct draws dollars away from
certain lots: especially lots comprised of windows. It may be
too late to figure that out: now that Brad Justus has announced
that some form of bulk buying will be available soon, and it
will indeed include windows, will AFOLs wait and see what the
price per piece they will offer is with the result being that
the ebay market for window lots will drop in average price?
It would be very cool to track the price of individual sets overtime.
Even if the number were not 100% accurate, it would still give new
buyers (and new sellers) an estimate to a given set's worth (on ebay).
