I chopped the top off the graph as there were some which made 13k+ which made it all look a little small...
Data collected from 1068 reported sales.
FYI.... 63% of classic minis for sale on ebay fail to sell.

also i would imagine the prices would go up in the spring/summer,
i would also imagine that it would be affected according to the condition of the mini,
so i read the information as if in top qaulity condition expect to get around 5k, in ok condition expect between 1.5and 2.5, and in poor condition less than 1k

And then correct it for unequal sample size. And then do an analysis of variance...
The range is greatest with the middle-aged cars. Presumably indicative of rebuilt versus not rebuilt?
I'm surprised the mean value of the earliest cars isn't higher.

I would image that 63% of classic minis for sale on ebay are actually bought when a potential buyer visits to have a look and makes an offer for cash there and then rather than have the auction end properly.FYI.... 63% of classic minis for sale on ebay fail to sell.

Her mini is now insured for £9,250 due to its original unrestored condition.
So that so called chart cant be right.

I maintain a 1 owner 1964 26,500miles 850 mini and the lady who owns it has just had her agreed value updated.

Yes it can. She hasn't sold it. (or has she.....??)

Yeah, Guessworks, give us some n values and standard deviations!!

Send me the data, I'll stick in Mini-tab (Google it)

Agreed value is based on what ? The so sayings of a mini club expert, in whose vested interest it is to inflate valuations? or the fact that to buy one retail in that condition would set you back that - given the number of apparently over optimistic prices I've seen from traders in pistonheads.
I've just read that and It's not aimed at anyone, just a comment on the classic car world in general over the last 40 years. Companies in the 1980's who coluded in groups to buy and sell cars to each other in order to inflate the prices, and then occasionally a rich but stupid punter would outbid them at auction.
And Clubs ? They want to preserve the cars, so if they value them higher than is realistic people will try to preserve them.
Anyway, I'd rather like to see the medians plotted rather than the mean, as that really removes the few extremes from the data.

That "so called chart" has nothing to do with your point. If your customer had sold her mini on ebay then it would show on guessworks chart.
What it shows it the actual final value of the ebay auctions, its not weighted for condition it just simply shows the sale price.
Guessworks has put a lot of effort into this and I for one greatly appreciate it and I really don't think your comment was appropriate or valid.

I would also like to thank Guessworks for his time compiling this and sharing it with us. It would be interesting to see if we could get anything else out of this data and would welcome a collaboration with Jacko-lah

The subject can obviously be very emotive and I would like to avoid polarising the debate. We could avoid this by focusing on the data, developing the analysis and identifying any improvements. In simple taking a very scientific approach to it
