Data coverage & outcomes

Integrity indicators and collection limits, including incomplete bid histories and the difference between provisional leaders and verified winners.

Reporting cutoff: Oct 19, 2026, 00:00 TorontoLatest included bid: 2026-10-18 23:59:52Current day excluded
The listing catalogue was collected October 17, after the bid-analysis cutoff. Its state is useful for collection-quality checks but cannot be treated as a historical October 16 state.

Why the data isn't complete

219 positive-bid listings were missing a corresponding bid history from the October 17 export; 705 more had a catalogue high bid greater than the highest retrieved history bid.

Those 924 discrepancies are about 8.3% of positive-bid catalogue listings. Neither a zero matched history nor a price lag proves deleted bids; the records may have been collected at different times.

What cannot be concluded yet

There are no independently confirmed closed-auction results in this export. Therefore the report does not claim any account actually spent money, won hundreds of items, drove up prices on auctions it lost, or used special pickup arrangements.

Future reports can estimate winner counts and winning values only once final closure and outcome evidence is captured and verified.
