Hello! Following this request from ... 2011, I added a rough evaluation of one's collection value based on the 2004~2022 average of selling prices on LDDb. admin @ Collection Value Total Attachment: This is BY NO MEAN a precise statistical tool and is only here for entertainment because:

Utterly pointless exercise, but just for fun if I apply this algorithm to ALL the LaserDisc collections right now (a million+ entries), I get: Min: $10,093,006.55 Avg: $10,591,651.13 Max: $11,294,693.59 We're (collectively) multimillionaires ![]() Julien |

Approach is the same: no past sale = $0, mint by default, and mint by default if used or sealed data are not available. Quote: Collection value based on all historical data: Min $x.xx - Average $y.yy - Max $z.zz If only the most recent transactions are considered: $x.xx Re-evaluating the total in collection as of today with the average method, we are now at: Min: $10,115,223.67 Avg: $10,614,213.85 Max: $11,317,750.83 And the "last prices" method shows that recent prices are slightly below their historical average: $10,446,546.93 Julien |

For some reason I missed this post Julien. Thanks for creating this new algorithm. I always did wonder what my current collection might be worth and I am bit shocked it's more than I thought. I guess it's a good reason to keep it now ![]() |
