Compare first:
- item identity
- condition and history
- inspection opportunity
- safe payment and collection
- cost to restore full function
Quick analysis
Enter figures from the specific deal. The benchmark should come from several genuinely comparable listings, and the contingency should cover category-specific risks.
What can distort the result
The most common mistake is comparing deals with different scope or condition. The second is entering zero post-purchase cost simply because it is not yet known. Use a cautious contingency and test two scenarios.
Decision after analysis
A “worth considering” verdict only means your inputs form a reasonable case. Before paying, confirm condition, documents, scope and safe collection.
