AuctionBytes-Update thought it might be interesting to see how popular some common items were, and how much they were selling for. We searched 5 different items on eBay on 11/3/99, came up with the highest price that item fetched, the lowest price, and the median price. We also determined the sell-through rate of these items. So dig around in your attic or cellar and see if you've got any!
