Research evidence

What was advertised, not what sold.

A dated, source-linked sample for understanding how asking prices differ. Each observation keeps its currency, configuration and limitations visible.

  • 12 observations
  • 6 model-year groups
  • USD stated by every source
01

Scope and method

Read the evidence before reading the numbers.

A small, purpose-selected sample of public advertised asking prices; not completed sales, valuations, a market index or an availability feed.

Duplicate advertisements were screened using published serial numbers where available, stock identifiers and configuration/location/use clues. Physical machines and condition were not inspected.

Observed . This is the day MBB read the advertisements, not their original publication date. Prices and availability may subsequently change. MBB did not inspect these machines, verify ownership or confirm that an offer remains available.

The low, median and high below describe only the two observations in each group. With two observations, the median is their arithmetic midpoint. These are not market-wide price bands or condition-adjusted estimates. Options, freight, removal, taxes and geography can change the comparison.

Source names, model identifiers and published currency remain as supplied. Missing fields remain unknown. Original source links are citations, not offers from MBB.
