Mister Yuk wrote in B Series Values:I think you can run into a lot of problems using eBay solds as definite values.Seller states the item is complete, or unwritten in, etc. and it's not. If the buyer doesn't return the item for a refund or a partial refund, is that really the value of the item in it's particular condition?Speaking of partial refunds, they don't show up in the sold price. I think they reflect just a small minority of the amount of items sold but I've gotten a few over the years.What if the item is damaged in the mail? You may have paid $20 for a B-whatever in VF condition, but if it didn't get to you in that condition and you didn't get a partial refund. You didn't pay $20 for a VF book, you paid $20 for a book in whatever condition it came to you as.Something too that I think gets missed a lot. The value of how a Seller sells. Some are better at it than others. Some are just bolder. I don't think averaging really helps a lot if you are looking for systems you can incorporate to help you in your buying. If you spend your time looking for the tricks to get the most out of your money, you'll ultimately benefit more. If your time is extremely valuable, you'll want to find the "best" sellers and wait for them to sell the item you want.
