So the book auction at Bloomsbury's this week had 293 lots of mostly medical books and some odds and ends at the end of the auction. There were no real surprises at the auction and 77 items out of the 293 went unbid. That's about 26.3% of the total number of lots.
If you were the seller, you netted about $65,000 while on the low end Bloomsbury was estimating that you would net $94,640 if all lots sold at the low end estimate or $132,670 if all lots sold at the high end estimate. Average low end book price was $323 not including buyers premium and $453 not including buyers premium. Actual auction results were an average of $360 of actual book sold without buyers premium and all of these numbers should be multipled by the currency factor of Pounds to Dollars of today's rate of 1.504 dollar to the pound.
