Buy-sell guide
Vintage Apparel asks are down -33.5% over 30d — sellers are chasing the bid.
- Median ask
- $50 now, against $75 30d ago — -33.5%.
- Listing supply
- 341 kept active listings, against 470 30d ago — -27.4%.
- Filter survival
- 94% of raw eBay results survive our keyword and price filters, so the rest were off-target listings.
- Ask spread
- Low to high asks span 359% of the median — wide enough that condition and completeness are doing most of the pricing.
If you're buying
- More listings than last week means you can wait out an overpriced one.
- Send offers on stale listings — supply this deep rarely clears at ask.
- Check sold listings, not asks, before you agree a number.
- Confirm condition and completeness in the photos, not the title.
If you're selling
- You are competing with a deeper shelf — lead with the lowest credible price or hold.
- If you can wait, wait. Dumping into rising supply sets your own comp low.
- 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.
⚠ 1 of 12 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.
