Post subject: | Collection Value Total |
Recently I stated entering my DVD collection at the DVD Corral Database. One of the neat features is that as I enter in titles it tallies up the total value of my collection on the fly. That would be a great feature here if implanted. http://www.dvdcorral.com/admin.php STAY AWESOME! |

But it would require a value figure. For those discs which have sold through LDDb Shops, this could be the average of the sale prices, but those are dependent on condition. |

I'm just waiting for you guys to start buying and selling millions of LDs just to give us a price benchmark for all titles Passing the 10,000th LD sold soon (added a countdown for fun), I might work on a little engine giving an approximated price when some transactions do exist. Right now I'm generating the min/avg/max per 3 types of conditions (used/mint/new), I might as well generate the "most recent" in each conditions and use it as a proxy to evaluate the part of a collection I can try to guesstimate. I'm already counting the number of sides and total running time anyway Julien |

If you go to your OWN collection page (others can't see it, only YOU can), you will see a new line in the Useless Statistics: Quote: Collection value: Min $x.xx - Average $x.xx - Max $x.xx Now, these values probably don't mean much but here is how they are constructed.
This should ensure that MIN <= AVG <= MAX and if you haven't provided any grading, then MIN = AVG = MAX. The underlying sales stats are refreshed periodically. A better approach might be to use the latest transactions instead of the average since 2004 but I do not have a pre-calculated table available for this, it will need to be generated separately.

While I think the grading system is sort of cool its the main reason I got out of comics and never got into card collecting or vinyl. Too many variables and I'm not sealing my junk so I can't play it. Also the fools who can't figure out what the inner sleeve is called can't determine what a good grade of condition is if they don't own players. LD grade really focuses on first playability, warped or rotted, I know these are way overblown but these hack flippers can't figure those out they shouldn't make a profit off us. |
