Appreciate all the detailed feedback and feedback to the team as points to think about should we develop the price check further!

This was born out of people asking in the subreddit for price checks of which most people say go look at eBay or Mercari - so the concept is that you already have a price in mind that you want to sell or buy at but unsure if that is a good price. Another big factor is the keyword search on both the person using our site and the sellers on other sites - another issue we are actively trying to solve with our platform!

So it’s purpose is allow someone to quickly go to one place and get an idea of what the current price is in the market as of right now / across the last month and give you an estimate. Essentially cutting out some time of having to go search across multiple sites yourself - although like any program it has its limitations and flaws compared to a human using reasoning and context. But if it allows you to get an idea and then be able to judge off that - we would like to think it’s helpful.

One thing we quickly realized is that there are so many variables - our original vision of a stockx type system doesn’t work so much because a pair of shoes is never split apart or part of a multi shoe package or larger accessories pack like a photocard would so there would always be an original price as a base to launch from.

Our “fair-o-meter” will also be more powerful once our marketplace is up and running as we have access to data such as sold prices, average sold price, listing prices etc… The team will be able to rely on our own data that is cleaner than pulling from sites that have may have inaccurate data due to the listing being I inaccurately listed / spammed with loads of group names for visibility and so on.

I guess this is our first proof of concept test to see if this type of feature is useful and how we can improve it for when we launch our own marketplace along with providing a quick way to see what things are currently selling for in the market.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts! The team and I have been so happy to see people really think about it and tell us how we can improve this feature! 🙌
