The monthly sales record was previously $29.5 million in March, with 929 active collectors purchasing 3,179 artworks. The average artwork price ranged between 3.0 and 5.5 Ether, or about $12,600 to $23,000.
Despite reaching a higher total sales volume this month, SuperRare has half as many active collectors buying on the marketplace this month compared to March.
This month, there have been 372 active collectors, purchasing 726 items of a value ranging between 9.5 and 12.2 Ether, or about $40,000 to $51,000.
In short, fewer collectors are buying fewer pieces from SuperRare. However, those that do tend to spend more money on big-ticket items.
