Study Notes
Price-Checking for Market Value
- Price-checking determines a device's market value
- Offers are based on evaluated market value
- 50-60% for most products
- 40-50% for high-risk items (like film cameras, drones)
- Market value is the average price-checked value on eBay
- Not relying on just one listing; checking at least five "buy it now" listings with similar prices
- Examples given to illustrate the topic
How to Price-Check
- Step 1: Identify the device model from the listing (title, description, or images)
- Example: iPhone 16 Pro Max Unlocked 256GB
- Step 2: Open a new tab in your browser and type eBay.com
- Step 3: Search for the device model (e.g., "iPhone 16 Pro Max Unlock 256GB") in the search bar
- Step 4: Filter results to show only "sold items." This ensures you see recently sold listings, and that the price is accurate.
- Step 5: Look for listings matching your criteria; evaluate price variations, listings with 'Buy It Now' status is preferred to filter out outliers and irrelevant listings
- Outliers are listings with significantly different prices and be aware of potential scams
- Seller legitimacy is an important factor to confirm; check the seller's feedback score or avoid those with a low rating or no history
- Check the device's location; avoid listings outside of the U.S.
- Check to see if there's demand and look for items that are in good condition
Considering Market Demand and Condition
- Low demand might mean higher profit margins are needed
- Outliers affect average prices; look for consistent listings
- Listings show variations in accessories (e.g., camera with or without lenses), condition, and used/new status affect price
- Condition of the device greatly influences price
- Using "Buy it Now" statuses when price-checking to ensure the price is actual and avoids negotiation
Determining the Average Price
- Mental calculations are sufficient for determining average price; avoid complex computations
- Focus on the lowest average customer-paid values, not highest
