The average sell through rate on Ebay is irrelevant. There's too many varaibles.
Sales vary greatly from one category to the next.
All sellers are not equal! I think the sell through rate of the average seller is pretty poor. 10% of the sellers on Ebay sell 90% of the items.
Our sales are about 80% (first run) and about 2/3 of our payments are through Billpoint. If you offer a quick pay method people will use it. If not you may lose SOME sales.
I don't know anything about civil war items, but To find out what is selling in a category just look at the completed items. That should tell you what you want to know.
