The Valuation panel sums up what this device is likely to sell for, the most you should pay, and how much data stands behind the numbers. Under the panel title you'll see how many of your shop's real data points were used and how many are recent. Always read that first.
Prices
| In the panel | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Expected Sell | The price it's expected to sell for, with a low–high range. The narrower the range, the more the data agrees |
| Safe Buy (maximum buy price) | The highest purchase price that still leaves your shop's profit. See Check Safe Buy before you buy |
| Offer | The price you entered. It turns red when it's above Safe Buy |
| Expected profit | Expected Sell minus your offer, expected repair, fees and holding cost |
| Quick Sell | Expected Sell less 8% (by default), for when you want the money back fast |
| Dealer price | The middle of the dealer prices your shop has recorded. If there are none, it says there's no data yet |
| Sells within | The expected number of days to sell. If it says store default, there isn't enough sales history yet, so the shop's setting is used |
The three scores
Confidence (0–100) shows how much data supports the valuation. More real sales, prices that agree and recent data all raise it. When this spec has few real sales and listing prices have to fill in, confidence drops. See Confidence.
Liquidity (0–100) shows how easily this model sells. It looks at recent sales, how fast they sold, how much sold versus how much is waiting, how many you already hold and how steady the price is. See Liquidity.
Risk has four levels: Low, Medium, High and Very high. The reasons are listed underneath.
Common risk reasons
-
The purchase price is close to the expected sell price, leaving thin profit, or it's above Safe Buy
-
Grade C or D sells more slowly and may need repair
-
A weak battery that may need replacing
-
Volatile market prices, or low liquidity
-
A long expected time to sell, or several of this model already in stock
-
An older model whose price falls quickly
-
The device has passed through your shop before, or the seller is on watch
-
Little price data, so confidence is low
How to use a valuation
-
Check the amount of data and the confidence before trusting the numbers. With little data, combine it with your shop's experience.
-
Work with the range, not a single number.
-
Read every risk reason, then decide whether to lower your offer or walk away.
