These listings have not sold, so this is a floor on days to sell, not days to sell.
The interval reads ±0.0% because these 107 observations carry only 2 distinct listed prices: resellers price copies of one Reference identically. It means the listed price is uniform, not that the median is exact.
96 observations excluded by interquartile rule before the median.
