The bids did the buying — week ending August 29

Weekly Market Update · published 2026-08-29 by Mr. Deeds · written from this site's recorded sales and live book — deed sales · Koda market · corrections policy.

The Otherdeed floor slipped again this week, and most of what traded was sellers hitting standing WETH bids rather than buyers lifting asks. That said, the ask side told a different story: three deeds cleared above 1 ETH (there were none last week), and scarce traits — rare resources, artifacts — kept printing above estimate while plain land didn't. Kodas were quieter after their big Friday last week, with the floor down about 11%. As always: this is a low-volume market, and every figure below carries its sample size for a reason.

Otherdeeds: a lower floor, a wider gap

The collection floor ended the week at 0.0677 ETH (Expanded) and 0.078 ETH (original collection), down from roughly 0.073–0.074 a week ago, with about 1,320 deeds listed — a touch fewer than last week's 1,370. Mr. Deeds recorded 134 Expanded sales for 20.6 ETH, the same count as last week but a third more volume, plus 33 sales in the original collection (18 of them ETH asks taken, median 0.080 ETH).

The composition is what matters. Of those 134 Expanded sales, 100 were accepted WETH bids and only 34 were listings bought outright. Kept apart, as they should be:

Listings bought (ETH): 34 sales · 8.6 ETH · median 0.100 ETH (last week: 45 · 5.8 ETH · median 0.087)
Bids accepted (WETH): 100 sales · 12.1 ETH · median 0.081 ETH (last week: 89 · 9.6 ETH · median 0.084)

Friday, August 28 was the busiest day: 46 sales, 41 of them accepted bids, at a median of just 0.066 ETH. Standing-bid liquidity did most of the work near the floor — 22 of the week's 100 bid-hits cleared at or under 0.065 ETH. Whether those bids were placed by hand or by software, the data doesn't say; what it does say is that there were two markets this week, and the one with more volume was the one that cleared lower.

Against the model: scarce traits held, plain land didn't

Measured against the estimates published on the site today, ask-side sales landed at 91% of estimate overall (34 sales; last week 89%). Two caveats before the breakdown: the floor fell about 7% during the week, so a deed compared to its sale-day estimate would read a few points higher than these un-normalized figures; and the subgroups below can overlap — a deed with both an artifact and a rare deposit counts in both — so they don't sum to 34:

Plain, floor-level deeds: 86% of estimate (17 sales) — same as last week
Artifact deeds: 113% of estimate (13 sales) — last week 115%
Rare-resource deeds: 106% of estimate (7 sales); the four with a tier-2-or-better rare deposit ran 113%
Accepted bids, all types: 74% of estimate (100 sales) — the bid discount widened from last week

This is the same pattern as last week, now with a second week of evidence behind it: interchangeable land cleared below estimate, while deeds with genuinely limited-supply traits cleared at or above it. Separately, the model's coefficients were refit this week on 2,131 sales over 180 days (the deed pages now say "model coefficients dated 2026-08-29"). Tier-3 rare deposits moved up about 9%, tier-2 about 5%, artifacts 4–5%, and the within-rare scarcity gradient came in about 5%. This week's prints are part of that fit, so the refit isn't independent confirmation of the tape — it's the model catching up to it. Full detail on the methodology page.

Sales of the week

#106 — 3.5 ETH (August 26, listing bought). A Trait Club island deed — one of the ~300 plots within sight of the Clubhouse, priced by proximity rather than by anything in its metadata. Island prints run 16 in six months at a median of about 4.25 ETH; this one landed at 89% of its published estimate. #229 — 1.54 WETH (August 24) was the other island print, taken by bid.
#75181 — 1.18 WETH (August 24). Two Fragmentia deposits (tier 3 and tier 1) on one Luster plot. Fragmentia sits on 159 deeds in the whole collection; this cleared at about twice its published estimate even though it went by accepted bid.
#16974 — 0.724 ETH and #12041 — 0.69 ETH (both August 25). Both carry a Slime Juice artifact (725 exist), and #12041 adds a tier-3 Vaporhaze. Four Slime Juice deeds changed hands that day — as many as in the previous three months combined — and these two printed at roughly 4× and 6.7× their published estimates. The model treats Slime Juice as a mid-supply artifact carrying a modest premium, and 20 earlier prints going back to March agreed with it. Whether Tuesday was one collector completing a set or the start of a re-rating, the next unrelated print will say.
#79906 — 0.406 ETH (August 28). Double Scholara at tier 2 (336 carriers). The published estimate was 0.437 ETH, so this one printed within 7% of it — the per-resource components that price tier-2 rares additively did their job here.

Kodas: quieter, cheaper, and mostly bids

After the 17-sale Friday of August 21, Koda trading settled down. Mr. Deeds has 25 Koda sales through August 28 for 17.3 ETH, against 35 the week before. The floor fell from 0.7275 to 0.649 ETH, about 11%, with 145 Kodas listed — still only about 1.7% of the 8,313 tradable Kodas.

Listed ETH sales: 6 · median 0.717 ETH. One of the six, #165 at 0.072 ETH, reads as a mispriced listing rather than a market price; without it the median is 0.728 ETH.
Accepted WETH offers: 19 · median 0.640 ETH

Three-quarters of the week's Koda sales were accepted bids, up from 40% last week — the same shift toward the bid side that showed up in deeds. The week's top print was #277 at 1.372 ETH on August 25, and it comes with a receipt: the same Koda was picked up by an accepted 0.927 WETH bid on August 17. That is a 48% mark-up in eight days, and a clean illustration of the gap between the two sides of the Koda book. Nothing else cleared above 1 ETH; the next three (#3900, #8055, #978) were all bids in the 0.92–0.96 range.

Megas and supply

No Mega Koda has sold in the trailing 30 days (126 Koda sales in that window). With 99 Megas in existence and 11 still locked inside unmigrated deeds, 88 are tradable — a market where one sale is the whole week's data, so the absence of a print is itself the fact. Supply moved a little this week: the collection sync found 6 deeds migrated to the Expanded contract, releasing two Kodas (#7033 and #9209) from locked status. The picture now stands at 10,000 Kodas · 8,313 tradable · 1,687 locked (how locking works).

The takeaway

Two weeks in, the shape of this market is consistent: a floor that keeps drifting lower under bid pressure, a listing side that is thin but pays for scarcity, and a widening spread between what a plain deed and a loaded one actually clear at. The Slime Juice prints and the double Fragmentia are the kind of outliers that either get explained by the next sale or become the new level — we'll report which. On the Koda side, the #277 round-trip is the clearest picture yet of how much a standing bid discount actually is when someone bothers to relist. The listings-vs-model ranking shows where today's book sits against all of this.
