Each point is a day's median across the listings we saw that day; the y-axis is price, the x-axis is time. Bigger dots = more listings behind that day (1–160 per point). Hover or tap anywhere for the exact value.
Lower confidence: this is an older platform (2017) with few recent sales (1 in 90 days), so its typical price is a rougher guide than for high-volume models.
