PricePulse Valuation Guide
How to read KR Naver + US eBay market quotes with a depreciation-based estimate
Korean: 시세 산정 가이드
1) What PricePulse provides
PricePulse is not a single-number calculator. It combines your part configuration (CPU/GPU/RAM/Storage/Platform), usage years (1-8), and condition level to estimate a current value, while also displaying market-search quotes from KR Naver and US eBay.
- Current estimate: baseline component value adjusted by depreciation and condition factors
- Market-search quote: median/range from real-time marketplace search samples
- Main purpose: practical decision support before listing, buying, or upgrading
2) Data sources and coverage
| Region | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|
| KR | Naver Shopping Search API | Live quote enabled |
| US | eBay Browse API | Live quote enabled |
| JP | Planned extension | Coming later |
Quote confidence depends on query quality and available samples. Exact model names produce better results.
3) Model logic in plain terms
- Build a baseline from selected components (USD reference values).
- Apply usage-year depreciation and condition-level adjustments.
- When KR live quote is available, use KR median as the main anchor and show US quote in parallel cards.
- Apply FX conversion so values remain comparable across output currencies.
4) How to improve estimate quality
- Use exact model identifiers:
i7-10700F,RTX 3060 Ti, etc. - Select realistic RAM and storage capacities.
- Use conservative condition assumptions for safer pricing decisions.
- Refresh market cards after editing parts to update sample coverage.
5) Interpretation checklist
- Compare your estimate to market median and range.
- Check sample size; low sample count means wider uncertainty.
- Test one-step lower condition to evaluate downside risk.
- Review difference from original purchase price before deciding.

Q. Why can real transaction prices differ?

Q. Is the board a marketplace?
A. No. The board is for information sharing only. Brokerage and direct sale features are not provided.
