After following the first 7 phases of the John Ergatoudis Collection auction

http://puzzles.baxterweb.com/phaseSummaryAll.asp

it is now clear to me that I only own a collection of toys and not a puzzle collection.

Here is a summary of the Ergatoudis Collection auction as of Phase 7:

791 items sold
$463,525 amount made
$586.00 average per puzzle

$12,200 Highest sold item

87 items sold for more than $1,000
16 items sold for more than $5,000
6 items sold for more than $10,000

I have identified Rubik's type puzzles of interest in the collection and here are the statistics


items 59
total $7,537
Max $1111 (Golden Cube)
Average $127.75

3 items sold for more than $500

Not too bad

Yes, he had quite a collection!!!

I was ONE of the winners! (And I was second on that GC )

There were a lot of good deals there. Several Fisher Mods for only a couple hundred dollars. Several rare boxes. Etc.

Some interesting mods too. A Skewb house. I like it.
