Evaluate the price in context, not in isolation

A low price is not automatically a bargain, and a high price is not automatically unjustified.

Before judging the amount, compare:

  • the exact model and version;
  • cosmetic and functional condition;
  • originality and modifications;
  • included accessories;
  • shipping costs;
  • any work likely to be required.

Compare several genuinely similar examples and avoid treating a single listing as an absolute benchmark.

For a complete valuation method, use the Used gear pricing and valuation guide. At this stage, the goal is mainly to decide whether the asking price is coherent with what you are actually buying.
