Comments on: Average price, week by week http://significantobjects.com/2009/11/30/average-price-week-by-week/ ...and how they got that way Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:51:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joshua Glenn http://significantobjects.com/2009/11/30/average-price-week-by-week/comment-page-1/#comment-1421 Joshua Glenn Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:53:49 +0000 http://significantobjects.com/?p=2844#comment-1421 The median prices of the first four weeks never rise above $17.82; and the median prices of the final four weeks never drop below $24.50. So there is likely *some* sort of a Duration Factor at work. I don't think Mimi's Metal Boot Peak Effect (or our Barefoot Buyer Syndrome) explains much, though, unless somehow they're the reason that, except for the Week 7 and Week 10 slumps, after Week 4 the median price never again drops below $20.50. But if the MBPE and BBS don't account for those slumps, I'm not sure we can place much confidence in them. Also, as the Average v. Weekly High chart shows, we did have some uninhibited bidding before Week 4. I'd like to present some data showing the project's <em>modal</em> data, since that will cancel out any distortion we're getting from a few wildly high sales. But at the same time, I think we ought to move along now to the qualitative part of our analysis. That will be quite tricky (because subjective), but I'm eagerly looking forward to it!
