eBay Price Guide: How to Research Sold Comps

The right price is what similar items actually sold for, not what sellers are asking.

Step by step

1. Search the exact brand and model on eBay.
2. Filter to Sold items (and "Completed" if you want unsold too).
3. Match condition: new, used, for parts.
4. Match the variant: size, color, storage, bundle contents.
5. Throw out outliers, then look at the middle of what's left.
6. Add shipping to compare like with like.

Traps

• Active listings that never sell.
• Auction versus Buy It Now prices mixed together.
• Lots and bundles counted as single items.
• Ignoring fees: run your number through the profit calculator.
