One of the questions I am most often asked is ‘What is my Cybis piece currently worth?’ and in most cases the sculpture is a limited edition. Although I have offered a general rule of thumb in my How and Why of Market Values post, what people really want are hard numbers. This new Archive page will provide that, by recording the actual selling prices of Cybis limited-edition sculptures. But first, some important notes and caveats, so please read them before looking for your piece(s) on this page!
How This Page Works
This page records the selling prices of limited-edition sculptures only. No open-edition or retailer-event pieces are included (even if the retailer-event piece was numbered.)
In order to provide a full six months of data at launch, the starting date for this history is July 1st, 2022. I will be updating this page regularly, no later than the first week of each month in order to add the prior month’s sales; there may be interim updates as well, as time permits.
The list is sorted alphabetically by sculpture name, except for the Limnettes which are listed as Limnette followed by the design name. Sales per sculpture name are shown with the most recent sale date listed first.
The individual sculpture number is shown because it’s possible that a piece may be re-sold multiple times and its condition may have changed (i.e., sold originally as damaged, then repaired and re-sold without proper disclosure.) If an asterisk * appears after a sculpture number, it means that the sculpture has one previous sale recorded here as well. Two asterisks ** indicate that the piece was sold twice before, and so on. The notation # not provided means that the seller did not state the sculpture number nor include a photo showing it. If the piece was marked AP instead of a number, it will be indicated here as such; see this post for an explanation of the many different things that AP can mean.
Please pay attention to the wording of my comments about the condition of the item:
* No damage cited or visible means that the seller or auction house did not mention (cite) any damage or repairs, AND their listing photos did not show any areas of damage or repair. Thus, a prospective buyer would assume that the piece was in mint (undamaged and with no repairs) condition from what they could see online.
* On the other hand, No damage cited means only that the seller did not mention any damage – but their photographs were not good enough in quality and/or quantity to determine whether the sculpture was actually free of damage or repairs. Auction houses are fond of generalizing (“condition: good” is a favorite and can cover a multitude of sins) or simply do not make any statement of condition at all. “No damage cited” means exactly that: The seller or auctioneer did not specifically mention any damage or repairs, but their photographs were not helpful in determining the piece’s actual condition.
The selling price quoted is for the item itself only. It does not include any percentage-based additional Buyer’s Premium that an auction house may have imposed, nor does it include any sales taxes or separate shipping costs that the buyer had to pay.
If a piece was part of a multi-item lot, this will be noted in my comments. I will assign the Cybis piece a percentage of the lot’s selling price based on what the other items were. For example, if the lot contains three Cybis limited editions, I will divide the hammer (winning bid) price equally into thirds. However, if a lot contains one limited edition plus one or more open editions or other items of lesser value, I will weight the limited-edition piece higher in most cases. The lot’s full selling price will also be indicated, along with a description of the other item(s), in order to provide context.
Special Note about eBay’s Sold Prices
Frankly, eBay is a nightmare when it comes to determining what an item actually sold for. There are only two types of Sold listing results in which the selling price reported publicly by eBay can be relied upon. Those are:
- An auction style sale that received more than one bid.
- An auction style sale that received only one bid and there is no mention of an ‘offer’ in the posted result.
Such sales are shown here simply as the sale price followed by the sale date and “on eBay”. This is what the buyer paid for the sculpture.
Here is how to interpret selling prices on this page that are shown differently than the format I have bolded above.
undisclosed selling price greater than $[amount] = The piece was originally an auction style listing with a Best Offer option available. Someone offered the seller more than the seller’s listed minimum opening bid, and the seller accepted it, thereby immediately ending the listing instead of letting it run its course. There is no way to know how much higher the actual selling price was. It could have been only somewhat higher, or have been very much higher indeed. These pieces are shown in eBay’s search results as 1 bid and also Best offer accepted — but eBay only shows the amount of the original starting bid set by the seller. Therefore, a Sold item originally listed with a starting bid of $10 and also a Best Offer option, will be shown by eBay with $10 as what appears to be the selling price – even though the actual selling price was definitely higher. It could have actually sold for $50, or $100, or $200. eBay’s failure to show the actual selling price of these listings is hugely misleading.
undisclosed selling price under $[amount] = The piece originally was a Buy It Now (fixed price) listing with a Best Offer option available, and the seller accepted less than their original asking price in response to an offer from a shopper. There is no way to know how much lower the actual selling price was. These pieces are shown in eBay’s Sold results as the original asking price with a horizontal line through it, and Best Offer Accepted.
$[amount] (or less) = This is by far the most problematic of eBay’s reporting formats. It means that the item was originally a Buy It Now listing that did not include a Best Offer option…in other words, it was a fixed-price listing (just like something being offered on Etsy or Amazon). Here is the problem: eBay uses the same reporting format regardless of whether the buyer paid the amount shown in the Sold result, or paid less than that in response to a ‘Watchlist special offer.’ Here is a hypothetical example:
- Seller “A” offers a Cybis piece for $200 as a Buy It Now, with no Best Offer option. Someone clicks Buy It Now and pays $200 for it. eBay will show this as having sold for $200 and with Buy It Now beneath the selling price. This is what that buyer actually paid, and eBay’s reporting of this sale’s outcome is true.
However, consider this example as well:
- Seller “B” offers a different Cybis piece for $200 as a Buy It Now with no Best Offer option. Six different shoppers notice it and put that item in their account’s Watchlist. The seller can see that six people are interested in this item, although he does not know who the people are. He wonders whether any of them would want to buy it if it was priced lower than $200, and decides to find out. He can send out a “special offer price” of, let’s say, $180 to the item’s Watchlist shoppers (the only rule is that a Watchlist-based offer must be at least 5% lower than the $200 that he is publicly asking.) eBay then automatically sends this $180 offer simultaneously to everyone who has put that item onto their Watchlist. The first person (if any) who responds to the special offer then becomes the buyer (you snooze, you lose.) But eBay will NOT show the Sold price as $180; instead, it shows it as being sold for original asking price of $200 and with Buy It Now beneath the selling price. eBay’s reporting of this sale’s outcome is false.
These two types of sales look identical in a Sold item search result on eBay. There is no way to know, in this scenario, whether it was sold for the Buy It Now price that eBay displays, or for less than that amount. This is why I put “(or less)” after any Buy It Now sold price on eBay. (There are times when I know who bought a particular item, and if they are kind enough tell me how much they paid, I will cite the actual selling price instead.)
This is an utterly ridiculous reporting system, and we can only hope that someday eBay will use some of its purported 10-billion-dollar annual revenue to figure out a way to show what an item actually did sell for. Until then, this is the best we can do with the wonky information that eBay supplies. I go into a bigger rant on this subject in a post on my personal blog site, by the way, with illustrations of how the listing and sold search results actually look in each scenario.
How to Use This Information
Most people would compute the average (mean) selling price of a given design by adding them all up and dividing the result by the number of sales, in order to obtain the ‘average market value’ of that Cybis piece. But that approach is not necessarily the best, because it does not account for the condition of the pieces that were sold.
An alternate method is to eliminate the very lowest and the very highest sale price from your computation. Removing these two prices will partially mitigate the skewing that is caused by damaged-item and shill-bid-winner sales. It might sometimes be more accurate than including every sale (depending on how extreme the low and high selling prices are) but it is still not perfect.
The most accurate method is to average the sale price of only those pieces that are in the same condition as your piece. If your Cybis piece has no damage or repairs, take only the average of the no-damage sales of that sculpture. But if it isn’t in mint condition, use only the sales of damaged or repaired examples. This approach will produce the most accurate average market value for your specific sculpture, especially as more and more results are entered here over time.
I am providing the raw data (sale price and item condition), but how you choose to interpret that data is up to you.
One More Thing…
If you purchased a limited-edition Cybis after July 1st, 2022 either privately, locally, or via an online sale that doesn’t appear here, and would like to contribute to that sculpture’s sales history, I will be happy to include it here as long as the purchase price, date, and source is documented. Such sales will be described as a “verified private sale”. There is a contact form link at the bottom of this page.
And finally, do keep in mind that the overall average market value of Cybis porcelain has remained essentially unchanged for more than 25 years (i.e., since the 1990s). There is very little, if any, likelihood that this will change at any time in the future. If you are interested in the market history of the art porcelain market since its inception, this post on my personal blog site can provide some insight into when, how, and why.
