CATEGORY SIGNALS

One combined median hides several equipment markets.

These category medians come from the same dated September 2026 asking-price snapshot. They are market context—not completed-sale prices or appraisals.

Freshness without theater.New pulses are published when a controlled snapshot supports a meaningful comparison. Publication dates and modified dates change only when the evidence, method or analysis changes.
CATEGORY REPORT SERIES

Go deeper than the all-market median.

Each category report isolates its own inventory and asking-price distribution, then adds the technical, inspection and production-readiness context needed to use the numbers responsibly.
