Lot

Definition

A lot is a group of items sold together as one auction or buy-it-now listing, such as a bundle of base cards, a mixed bag of vintage tees or a five-pack of bracelets. Lots move inventory faster at a lower price per piece.

Hosts build lots to clear low-value stock without spending a full auction on each item, and to give budget buyers something to win. In sales data a lot shows up as one line with one price, which is why per-item averages on live platforms understate what individual pieces would fetch.
