Where do these prices come from?

How these numbers are made

Source: completed sales on eBay.com in US dollars, Apr 5, 2026 – Oct 8, 2026, without shipping.
Only this exact item: every sale is checked to be this model — no parts, lots, look-alikes or other versions.
Best Offer sales left out: eBay shows the asking price on those, not the price that was paid.
Always fresh: checked again every few weeks; a page whose numbers are older than 45 days is taken down until they are checked again.
No user data: every number is a public eBay sale — never a user, a photo or a scan.
