Buy-sell guide
Magazines asks and supply are moving together — no side has the edge this 30d.
- Median ask
- $26 now, against $25 30d ago — +6.0%.
- Listing supply
- 173 kept active listings, against 171 30d ago — +1.2%.
- Filter survival
- 96% of raw eBay results survive our keyword and price filters, so the rest were off-target listings.
- Ask spread
- Low to high asks span 160% of the median — wide enough that condition and completeness are doing most of the pricing.
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 13 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.
