The best way to track "perceived consumer value 1 year later" might be to just look at ebay prices on 1 year old stuff.


False--price is largely dictated by what new users (who can't afford to buy a new device) are willing to pay, not what the seller (who used the device) wants.


Really man "FALSE!"?

Try to be a bit more collegial on here.


(Nitpick: I think there's a difference between "False--" and "FALSE!".) Regardless, though, it may be on the blunter side, but I think it's a better choice than, "I'm sorry, good sir, but in my humble opinion you are perhaps less than correct."

To the OP--I'm sorry if I came off as impolite, I truly was aiming for conciseness, not malice.


Can you no longer look at completed auctions?


False - price is determined by the intersection of demand and supply curves.


Hardly 'false' - this is a generalisation of his point, not a contradiction.


But the demand is a major confounding variable.
