eBay Sold Price History: Monthly Median Prices for up to 3 Years

A time series of real eBay sold prices for any item: one row per month (or week) with the median sold price, quartiles, min, max and the number of sales, going back up to 3 years. Ready to chart in Google Sheets, Excel or your own dashboard. eBay's own sold search only shows 90 days.

Why a single number over a long window misleads

We pulled rolex datejust 16220 two ways:

Window	Median sold price
Last 90 days	$435.56
Last 3 years	$4,400.00

The market did not drop 90%. The 90 day result was dominated by straps, bezels and parts, and the 3 year result picked up 62 older sales of the watch itself. One number over one window tells you about the mix of listings, not the price. A month by month series shows you both: the level, and whether a strange month is a market move or a change in what matched.

What you get

One row per keyword per period, oldest first:

{
  "keyword": "lego 75192",
  "interval": "month",
  "period_start": "2026-06-01",
  "period_end": "2026-06-30",
  "partial_period": false,
  "sales": 95,
  "median": 670.3,
  "p25": 519.57,
  "p75": 726.38,
  "min": 325,
  "max": 918.53,
  "outliers_removed": 0,
  "sampled": true
}

• sales is how many sales the statistics use.
• sampled: true means the period had more sales than fit in one pass, so the figures describe the newest ~240 sales of that period. For a trend line this is plenty.
• partial_period: true marks the current month or week, which is still filling.

Set a minimum price. It is the single biggest fix

The same words match parts, manuals and minifigures. Here is June 2026 for lego 75192, measured both ways:

Setting	Median	Lower quartile
condition: new, no price floor	$257.50	$31.54
minPrice: 300	$670.30	$519.57

Without the floor, the median swung from $574 to $257 between May and June because the mix of minifigure sales changed, not the price of the set. With it, the six months from May to October 2026 read $695, $670, $630, $681, $710, $711: a steady market. If p25 sits far below the median, raise minPrice.

What people use it for

• Is this going up or down? Retired LEGO sets, watches, sneakers, cards, consoles, cameras.
• Seasonality. Last December's price for a toy, last summer's for a bike.
• Buying decisions on lots and inventory, priced against the trend rather than one recent sale.
• Charts and newsletters: the output drops straight into a line chart.

Cost

You pay per row, and one row is one month (or week) of one keyword. A 12 month history for one item is 12 rows.
