What is a buy-below on the market?

Buy-below (market)

A buy-below on the market is the most you can pay for a typical comparable and still leave room for a healthy margin after selling fees. Resale IQ models it as average asking price at departure × 0.95 × 0.70. It is a sourcing ceiling derived from watched listings, not a promised profit.

You compute the number before you source, not as a feeling in front of a rail. Pay under it and the flip has room after fees. Pay over it and you are speculating.

The hard input is the realistic sale price — the asking price similar items were listed at when they left the shelf, not what hopeful sellers are asking now. Brand averages on /data are demand context. The buy-below that decides the purchase is the named model's own departures.
