Asking Price Is Not Value

Active listings are useful research, but a seller can ask anything. Sold evidence is the beginning of market analysis, not the end.

Asking Price Is Not Value

NeverOpened treats packaging as evidence. The goal is to preserve information before making an irreversible change.

Match exact identity

A nearby product name can hide a different printing, region, pack count, seal style or variant.

Match condition

A pristine case-fresh example and a crushed box can be the same SKU but not the same collectible proposition.

Use multiple sales

One outlier is a story. A cluster of comparable transactions is better evidence.

Account for venue

Auction premiums, shipping, taxes, platform fees and bundled lots can make headline prices non-comparable.

For high-value material, category-specific references and qualified specialists matter more than generic internet checklists.
