The Stranger’s annual “Strangercrombie” charity auction # ^[1] ends in just under five hours. As a public service, we present a look at the savviness of eBay bidders.

As of 12:30 pm, most non-”priceless” items were going for below their stated value. The graph below plots current bids against actual package value. (the red line represents the line of actual value.)

Right now, the (second) most underpriced non-priceless package is for Club Medusa Mirabeau Room (worth $3000, going for $61) and the most overpriced is for Neumo’s (worth $200, going for $203.50). Biggest spenders are for “you write I, anonymous”, “you write Savage Love” (both “priceless), and “does your band suck?” (a steal at $1525 for a $5000+ package).

Hit the auction before 5:30 to get in on the action. [ebay ^[2]]

in this graph, items are labeled and “priceless” items are valued at $0 — not as a judgement, but so that the text for the outliers shows up.
