Care to tell us how you collect the data and calculate the avarages?
Are they of your shop or general?

The prices are an average of sold items over the last 60 days.  There are two averages:  Auctions/Buy It Now and Store Sales.  The prices global from the entire eBay site. (Not one specific seller.)

Thanks for the reply, Infinity.
The reason I ask is that I maintain another Price Guide (http://maxminis.com/Forums/tabid/104/forumid/53/postid/728916/view/topic/Default.aspx) which uses a simply tool I wrote to collect the data from the ebay site and then calculate avarages, medians, and such.
Is there a way to simply get the data from ebay in a speedy method, or to somehow limit time in searches? I know of none, and this could make the Ebay Guide much more robust.

Right now alot of it is done by hand.  I'm working on an up to the minute pricing system.  I do use filters to remove lots and bogus items from the results.  I'm hoping to make the price guides available as RSS feeds in the near future.
