devils advocate Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 This simple table proves how prices can fall by 10% across the board, whilst average prices rise by 15%. Look at year 1. Hopefully its broadly representative of the price profile of the market, with a far greater number of sales at the lower prices. In year 2, where all prices drop 10%, the volumes significantly decrease in the lower half of the price range. This therefore sends the average price higher. I can't help but think that this effect has been influencing the statistics issued by the usual VIs, where prices appear to be relatively stable year on year. dev price_increase.htm price_increase.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
