The problem

Gear pricing is a guess.
It shouldn't be.

A listing on one site says one thing. An auction hammer said another six months ago. A dealer quotes a third number. You're supposed to just… feel it out.

FocalGrade writes it down.

How it works

Three steps from name to decision.

1
01

Search

Match the exact version and condition — reference numbers, generations, finishes. Not a fuzzy family average.

2
02

Grade

Live listings plus auction results collapse into one Grade Seal — a 0–100 score with a letter, refreshed daily.

03

Decide

Best buy-in price, resale range, expected profit, and 12-month trend. BUY, HOLD, or WATCH — with the numbers to back it up.

Features

Six numbers that end the guessing.

Fair Market Value

The real number, not the asking number.

We reconcile asks, sales, and auctions — throw out outliers, weight by recency — into one figure. FMV is what the market actually pays this month.

Best Buy-In

Know the price worth pulling the trigger at.

Below-market listings surface with a deal score. We tell you the fair entry price for the version and condition you're eyeing — not just the cheapest link.

Resale & Expected Profit

See the exit before you enter.

Sell-now, sell-quick, sell-patient — three realistic exit prices, minus 12% typical fees, into expected profit percentage. So you know the trade before you make it.

Version-Level Grading

An M11 isn't one thing.

Silver or black. Regular or Monochrom. Rigid, ASPH, pre-ASPH, first-batch. Each version gets its own grade — because each version has its own market.

Auction + Live Market

Both truths, in one grade.

Retail asks tell you sentiment. Auction hammers tell you reality. FocalGrade merges both — auction results aren't dismissed as outliers just because they're high.

Appreciation Trend

Is it climbing, cooling, or flat?

24-month FMV trend charts, high-low bands, and directional appreciation. Know whether you're holding steel or holding sand.
