Ebay Data

Caveats, disclaimers, etc.: The database of completed Ebay auctions is updated monthly. The price averages listed here are for entertainment purposes only. If you go to sell/auction a particular CD, you may get more or less than the prices indicated here. These prices are not to be construed as "accurate" in any capacity, and Brutal Metal cannot be held liable for the results of your attempts to sell or auction a given disc.

NOTE: The search facilities at Ebay are fairly primitive, and as such, may be inaccurate. A couple of examples:

1. For a disc entitled Live, you may see results for auctions which include bootlegs.
2. If someone's auction title includes reference to a disc other than the one being auctioned, the search may catch a disc it's not meant to catch.
3. There are no distinctions made for limited editions, autographed items, promos, new vs. used, or different releases of a disc. Artist name and disc title are the only criteria used.
4. Self-titled discs can create a problem, as Ebay's search mechanism recognizes name name only as name and thus pulls up all occurrences of name, not restricting it to those auctions where name appears twice.
5. There's no way to control typos or incomplete album/group names on the part of the auctioner

While auctions with 0 bidders are listed below, those auctions are NOT included when calculating the average for a given disc.

Auctions where there were bidders, but a reserve was not met are still included in the data. Why? The important information is not what unreasonable reserve may have been put on a disc, but rather what people were willing to pay for the disc, and that is represented by the final bid even if the reserve was not met.
