What is Historical Auction Market Data?

 

In partnership with eBay, Heritage Galleries, and other prominent auction houses, Comic Art Fans is proud to bring to this hobby a most ambitious project - original comic art auction results from the past four years. Knowledge is power, and this new application puts that power into every collector's hands.

 

- Have a question about past sales on an artist or title you are not familiar with? Search our Market Data for relative sales examples.

 

- Trying to gauge the resell value on your current collection? Search our Market Data for recent sales figures.

 

- Bidding on something on ebay? Guesstimate the final sales price based on comparative examples.

 

- Was a piece of art from a particular title or artist ever on the market? Search our Market Data for that particular piece of art.

 

- Saw a piece on ebay that you know was listed a few months before? See if it sold, and for how much!

 

Get the hint? The point is this that this search has a lot to offer. We cannot predict the full usefullness of this new feature, but we feel very strongly that it has a place in this hobby.

 

How does it work and what are the features?

 

Comic Art Fans has compiled more than 120,000 auction results, some results dating back to the late 1990's, and have relationships with eBay and Heritage Galleries going forward to continually add to this database. Our ebay data currently goes back to May 2005 and - if this program is successful - we can purchase ebay results back to January of 2004 (as far back as they provide sales figures). Heritage Galleries has provided us with all their sales figures as has All Star Auctions. Every Monday or Tuesday we will import the past week's worth of auction results from Heritage Galleries and eBay. Also, we have recently gotten the approval of a European auction house to share their sales figures and we will be including them in the search soon. If anyone is aware of other auction results we should be pursuing for inclusion please let us know.

 

We have created an advanced search into this historical data as well. You can specify keywords, a date range, a price range (greater than $250, for example), whether the result items sold or did not sell, and which auctioneer(s) you wish to include in the results. All result fields can be returned in an ascending or descending order, i.e. return results with the highest final bid result first.
