Sale prices on eBay have been analysed to evaluate West German Pottery price trends. The aim is to monitor the changing value of Fat Lava pottery through analysis of UK eBay sales. The intention is that this will provide a barometer for the popularity/desirability of Fat Lava items.

Thanks to feedback received from John Sydney (@backoftheocean) on this analysis, the costs of West German pottery sales has now been updated to include the sale price plus postage costs – rather than just sale price as was previously the case. This gives a truer reflection of the actual value of the items. Historical prices (pre November 2012) have been uplifted to include postage cost (uplift calculated based on the average November 2012 postage cost £5.85).

The average sale price of West German pottery items during November 2012 was £22.57, almost unchanged from the previous month (£22.72). The top 20% most expensive Fat Lava items average sale price was £50.75, down on the previous month (£64.10).
