Asking prices mislead.
Online, many items are listed at prices they never sell for. Using them as a guide means pricing too high.
Look for sold prices.
Completed sales are what you can rely on: your own sales, finished auctions and marketplace sales. Depending on the item, prices also differ by channel and country.
5-step checklist
- Search for sold items, not listed ones
- Compare condition and completeness
- Take channel and country into account
- Gather several comparable values
- Keep using your own sales data
What matters
Several values, not one
A range is more honest than a point.
Recency counts
Old prices often no longer fit.
Compare markets
The same object can sell differently by country.
When to call an expert?
Set a value threshold: above it, items are valued by a specialist or expert rather than at intake. In go2markt.de such an item goes to review automatically.
You decide who values what.
- Staffup to €20 directly
- Valuer€20–500 and unclear items
- Expertfrom €500
Example – you set the thresholds.
