EXPERT MARKET ANALYSIS **Expert Report: Vintage Electronics Price Analysis** **Summary:** Our analysis of vintage electronics sales data reveals a dynamic market with shifting price trends, driven by demand and supply factors. The report highlights key findings on price fluctuations, product assumptions, and significant outliers. **Price Trends Over Time:** Prices for vintage electronics have shown a general upward trend since August 2024, indicating increasing demand and scarcity of certain models. This price appreciation is most pronounced in the higher-end console and computer segments. However, some categories, such as low-to-mid-range consoles, have experienced price drops or stability. **General Assumptions:** Based on product descriptions and price changes, we assume: 1. **Demand-driven pricing**: Prices for popular models tend to rise as demand increases. **Significant Outliers:** Two sales stand out as notable outliers: 1. The sale of a Varian Data Machines Data 620/i Front Control Panel Console for an unusually high price ($2,996.00), suggesting a niche market for rare and valuable computer equipment. **Recommendations:** This analysis suggests that businesses can capitalize on the growing demand for vintage electronics by: 1. **Monitoring market trends**: Keeping track of price fluctuations and shifts in demand. By understanding these dynamics, businesses can navigate the vintage electronics market with confidence and make informed decisions about buying, selling, and pricing their products.
2. **Condition affects price**: Functional units generally command higher prices than non-functional or damaged ones.
3. **Rarity influences price**: Limited availability of specific models contributes to their value.
2. A working Atari 1200XL Console sold at a relatively low price ($229.95) compared to other high-end console sales.
