Signature Link Calculator: 2nd Test

December 21, 2006 on 7:41 am | In Signature Calculator | 3 Comments

As I said I would do in my first post, I’m again testing the Signature Link Calculator by looking at previous Digital Point signature auctions.

I’ll start with the first one that successfully sold, and work my way back. I’ll ignore those that haven’t sold, and those that are sold at BIN (buy it now) because that usually doesn’t reflect the true market value.

#1 auction here, calculated price $7, sold for $7 :)

#2 auction here, calculated price $48.14, sold for $20

#3 auction here, calculated price $99.88, sold for $100 (I know I said I wouldn’t include those sold at BIN, but this one was just too close to pass up)

#4 auction here, calculated price $10.03, sold for $9

#5 auction here, calculated price $4.18, sold for $5

So all in all pretty close, I wish I could remember my statistics so I could work out the standard of deviation, but I can’t even really remember what that is…

I’ll do this again every once in a while, it’s good for me to stay on top of it anyway. The calculators been getting a bit of criticism as it seems to grossly overinflate massive posters signature values, but I think their just bots anyway.

The Signature Link Calculator

I’ve had a signature link calculator made to make it easier for everyone to price and buy signatures. Its often quite difficult to put a value on a signature. Some people will prefer a high total post count while some will prioritize posts per day. I feel both are very important, so I developed the equation based on both.

You can view the calculator on the homepage of Sig-Link.

To prove its accuracy I’m going to take a look at a few of the last signature auctions at the Digital Point forums, from 28 November through to 1 December, (New Zealand time).

#1 Auction here, calulated price $7.11, sold for $7.50

#2 Auction here, calculated price $1.93, sold for $3

#3 Auction here, calculated price $3.17, sold for $5

#4 Auction here, calculated price $5.1, sold for $5

To get those examples I had to skip over a few as I only wanted to show those with a DP signature that was selling on a per month basis. Also some of the auctions were not clear if they were sold or not. I’m quite disappointed I couldn’t find any sales with large total post counts, so I’ll repeat this exercise in a week or two.

In the meantime, feel free to visit this section of Digital Point and test it for yourself. I’d appreciate some feedback.
