Frequently Asked Questions
How is the market data collected?
We track every auction result and sale across Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, eBay Motors, PCarMarket, Collecting Cars, Rennlist, and Mecum. Data is collected daily and processed for accuracy.
What is the sell-through rate?
The sell-through rate is the percentage of listed vehicles that successfully sell. It excludes active/live listings and only counts completed auctions (sold, reserve not met, or withdrawn).
How is appreciation ratio calculated?
The appreciation ratio compares a vehicle's sale price to its estimated market value based on comparable recent sales. A ratio above 1.0 indicates the car sold above market average; below 1.0 means it sold below.
