Buy-sell guide

EVENLY MATCHED

CDs asks and supply are moving together — no side has the edge this 30d.

Median ask
$18 now, against $19 30d ago — -1.4%.
Listing supply
128 kept active listings, against 139 30d ago — -7.9%.
Filter survival
90% of raw eBay results survive our keyword and price filters, so the rest were off-target listings.
Ask spread
Low to high asks span 84% of the median — a tight enough band that condition explains most of the gap.

If you're buying

  • No urgency signal either way — buy on condition and price, not timing.
  • Check sold listings, not asks, before you agree a number.
  • Confirm condition and completeness in the photos, not the title.

If you're selling

  • Steady market — a clean listing at the median moves faster than a bargain hunt.
  • Price against sold comps from the last 30 days, not the top ask on the board.
  • Photograph the flaws — the discount you take up front is smaller than a return.

⚠ 4 of 10 signals are thin on kept listings, so the composite leans on the rest.

Signals, not appraisals. Always verify recent sold signals before you buy. Every number here is an observation of active eBay asking prices, not a sold price and not an appraisal. Always verify condition, authenticity, and recent sold signals before buying.
