For the week ended Friday, 11 February 2022, 38 auctions were archived to Rare Book Hub’s Transactions+ database, 1 denominated in Columbian pesos, 2 in Danish krone, 7 in euros, 4 in British pounds, and 24 in US dollars.

 

Turnover this past week was $11,543,034 as 89% of all lots sold.  There were 10,100 lots posted and 8,978 changed hands.  The average lot sold for $1,286.

 

When the number of lots are fewer the percentage of lots sold rises because the number of bidders and buyers are constantly increasing.
