What is a buy-below on the market?
Buy-below (market)
A buy-below on the market is the most to pay for a typical comparable: 70% of its typical resale price. Resale IQ models it as typical asking price × 0.70. It is a sourcing ceiling derived from watched listings.
You compute the number before you source, not as a feeling in front of a rail. Pay under it and the flip has room. 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.
Know what sells. Decide whether to buy. Adidas Samba, New Balance 530 and Patagonia Synchilla return a live BUY / WATCH / SKIP plus buy-below on /tools with no account. Other models use your 10 free checks a day (no account, no card), then Starter at €9 a month.
For 50 specific models, the Buy-Below Sheet lists the buy-below price next to the median asking price and observed departures (€29 once).
