Key takeaways
  • Quoting one listing as the market
  • Ignoring liquidity
  • Buying during a hype spike
  • Mixing raw and graded comps

Quoting one listing as the market

One optimistic ask is a rumour. Look at the spread and the volume behind it.

Ignoring liquidity

Thin cards produce the loudest and least reliable price talk in every community.

Buying during a hype spike

Spikes driven by content rather than supply usually retrace. Set your price first.

Mixing raw and graded comps

Graded sales are a different market. Compare like with like, including population.
