Hammer, auction, get it?
Sunday, June 8, 2008
Just for fun, a very coarse plot of an ebay auction that ended today (I was selling a 20D if you really must know).
I think bidding patterns are really interesting, as do a great many economists and even physicists.
I think at some point I'll write a quick program to plot ebay auctions more finely. Speaking of which, the above graph was plotted with python/pylab because the graphing part of OpenOffice.org, at least the version I have installed, was giving me such a headache that it was actually quicker to code it myself. Now python/pylab make it extremely easy to do simple plots like this, but it's still not a good sign for OO although to be fair I'm out of date so I imagine (hope) it's much better these days.
