Method

Prices are the final bid we recorded when a lot closed; where it sold, the hammer price is that or higher.

The sell-through rate counts only platforms that report both sold and unsold lots.

Lots the platform marks as private-seller stock are excluded throughout.

New listings are lots we first saw during the month, whether they have closed or are still open.
