Archived example, not October 19 financial data. Not actual spending. Financial figures below use the October 17 catalogue snapshot, while behavioural analyses exclude October 17 bid events. They must never be portrayed as Oct 16 end-of-day balances or confirmed wins. Every included listing remained unverified as closed in the supplied export.

Item amounts exclude buyer premiums, handling charges and taxes. Each catalogue record is a captured state, not a sales invoice.

What the final-outcome analysis must measure

Once closures are independently verified: unique listings won and lost; final winning amount; share of bid value on lost listings; final price movements after an account bid; and matched comparisons against similarly active purchasers within each auction and product category.

Simply summing every bid by a bidder overstates purchases because multiple bids may be placed on the same product. Losing bids do not prove price manipulation.

October 19 data refresh

The latest October 19 listing file does not mark any item closed or finally verified. Provisional current high bids are not evidence of historic spending or wins. Financial exposures from prior snapshots must not be represented as today’s verified totals.
