List Members,
I've been sitting back quietly watching this thread get over-baked over the
past few days and finally decided I'd step in a make a comment.
In his remarks, Jamie talks about his potential "right" to publish data
that is extracted from publicly available documents. Personally, I b
Mark,
As you mention, the legal issues you mention are copyright issues. In
my experiments, it's very likely there is no copyright issue. Courts
have generally held that simple data (like numbers, monetary amounts,
names) are not covered by copyright. I'm not messing with images or
page layouts

Jamie,
I think your decision to omit names is a good one. Anyone who follows ebay
closely knows who is doing a lot or a little in general terms. It is simple
to search specific buyers and sellers to see how much they have bought or
sold over a period of time. Personally I could care less about

I'm gonna suspend any more preliminary analysis publishing.
I've already started a discussion with EBay. Meanwhile, I'm
gonna continue experimenting with the analysis. If/when I
publish any more data, I'll obfuscate identities as I
described previously. Probably most of the interesting
Dear Paul, List;
I think this answers it enough for me. Very well done.

Listees,
Thanks for the many comments.
As I warned, the results are preliminary. One prominent seller
pointed out important omissions in my data (items sold via "Buy
It Now" in particular). I'm debugging and rerunning.
Since there is sufficient interest and since the reports are not
small, I'll

Hi, I really like the information you listed as it
can be a very valuable tool for those of us that sell
on ebay. It is interesting to note who made the list,
(I realize this is a narrow snapshot) but I was
surprised at who was on it and also who wasn't. I for

Jamie,
Thanks that was really interesting! Keep up the posts. I was relived to
see I never made the top 20 spenders list :)

Interesting stuff. I don't think it invades privacy since this is data
everybody can compile. Actually, I am surprised not to see Rocketfella
on that list of big spenders *g*.
I am using another tool and have compiled data from the last 6800
meteorite auctions. It is useful for me to see how much

I haven't yet sold any meteorites (but I do need to thin

meteorite market dynamics. It's fun.
