THE MARKET, NOT ONE MARKETPLACE

how gearkoala knows.

A used treadmill at auction, a refurbished dealer treadmill, and a Facebook Marketplace treadmill are not the same price signal. GearKoala keeps those markets separate.

01

sold prices

Verified closed-auction and transaction evidence. This is the strongest evidence for what buyers actually paid and is the core input to market-derived Grab Scores.

02

live market

Current listings and active auction inventory. Useful for Scout and for understanding what is available now, but an asking price or current bid is not treated as a completed sale.

used equipment dealers

Dealer and refurbisher asking prices provide another market layer. GearKoala keeps dealer pricing separate because inspection, service, delivery and warranty can create a real premium.

local resale

Consumer and local resale inventory helps establish local asking-market context. Local and community markets can reveal inventory that never reaches major marketplaces. Closed, community, or login-gated sources are supported through user-submitted links, listing text, or screenshots unless GearKoala has an authorized collection method. These listings remain asking-market evidence unless a completed sale is independently verified.

new retail

Manufacturer and retailer prices help establish replacement cost, generation and product context. New retail is context — it does not magically make a used item worth a fixed percentage of MSRP.

THE RULE

we don't mix unlike prices.

Sold evidence, active bids, private asking prices, dealer inventory and new retail are labeled and weighted differently. If GearKoala does not have enough trustworthy evidence, it should say so instead of inventing a confident score.

SOURCE STATUS

the network keeps growing.

Sources shown here describe GearKoala's source network. Individual sources only influence valuation when usable observations have actually been collected and classified.

Evidence means GearKoala has usable observations from that source. Expanding means coverage is being developed. User submitted means GearKoala analyzes information a user provides rather than representing that it continuously or automatically collects that marketplace.

* GearKoala is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the marketplaces, communities, manufacturers, or brands named on this page. Source availability and permitted access methods vary. References identify the origin or context of market information; they do not imply a data partnership. GearKoala may use public or authorized data, permitted APIs or feeds, and user-submitted links, text, or screenshots as appropriate.
