#' Wii Mario Kart auctions from Ebay
#'
#' Auction data from Ebay for the game Mario Kart for the Nintendo Wii. This
#' data was collected in early October 2009.
#'
#' There are several interesting features in the data. First off, note that
#' there are two outliers in the data. These serve as a nice example of what
#' one should do when encountering an outlier: examine the data point and
#' remove it only if there is a good reason. In these two cases, we can see
#' from the auction titles that they included other items in their auctions
#' besides the game, which justifies removing them from the dataset.
#'
#' This dataset includes all auctions for a full week in October 2009.
#' Auctions were included in the dataset if they satisfied a number of
#' conditions. (1) They were included in a search for "wii mario kart" on
#' ebay.com, (2) items were in the Video Games > Games > Nintendo Wii section
#' of Ebay, (3) the listing was an auction and not exclusively a "Buy it Now"
#' listing (sellers sometimes offer an optional higher price for a buyer to end
#' bidding and win the auction immediately, which is an \emph{optional} Buy it
#' Now auction), (4) the item listed was the actual game, (5) the item was
#' being sold from the US, (6) the item had at least one bidder, (7) there were
#' no other items included in the auction with the exception of racing wheels,
#' either generic or brand-name being acceptable, and (8) the auction did not
#' end with a Buy It Now option.

#' @docType data
#' @format A data frame with 143 observations on the following 12 variables.
#' All prices are in US dollars.
#' \describe{
#'   \item{id}{Auction ID assigned by Ebay.}
#'   \item{duration}{Auction length, in days.}
#'   \item{n_bids}{Number of bids.}
#'   \item{cond}{Game condition, either \code{new} or \code{used}.}
#'   \item{start_pr}{Start price of the auction.}
#'   \item{ship_pr}{Shipping price.}
#'   \item{total_pr}{Total price, which equals the auction price plus the
#'   shipping price.}
#'   \item{ship_sp}{Shipping speed or method.}
#'   \item{seller_rate}{The seller's rating on Ebay. This is the number
#'   of positive ratings minus the number of negative ratings for the seller.}
#'   \item{stock_photo}{Whether the auction feature photo was a stock
#'   photo or not. If the picture was used in many auctions, then it was called a
#'   stock photo.}
#'   \item{wheels}{Number of Wii wheels included in the auction. These are steering
#'   wheel attachments to make it seem as though you are actually driving in the
#'   game. When used with the controller, turning the wheel actually causes the
#'   character on screen to turn.}
#'   \item{title}{The title of the auctions.}
