Price Evaluator

How the estimate is calculated

• Rarest trait drives the base price. We identify the trait with the lowest count out of 10,000 dogs. Its listing floor or top sale price (whichever is higher) becomes the starting point.
• Other rare traits add a bonus. If a secondary trait (count ≤ 500) has a higher sale or floor than the base, 20% of the difference is added as a trait bonus.
• Rarity rank multiplier. The dog’s overall rarity rank applies a multiplier: top 1% → 1.5×, top 5% → 1.25×, top 15% → 1.1×, top 25% → 1.05×.
• Trending multiplier. Traits seeing high current demand (like Wizard, Beret, Suit) get an additional boost.
• Own sale history. If this specific dog has sold recently, its sale price acts as a floor—the estimate won’t go below it.
• Collection floor guarantee. No dog is ever estimated below the collection floor price.

Sale price attribution

When a dog sells, the sale is attributed to its traits. To prevent common traits from being inflated by a rare dog’s sale, we apply tiered caps:

• Ultra-rare traits (count ≤ 100, plus Diamond & Shiny): full sale price attributed.
• Moderately rare traits (count 101–500): capped at 2× the median sale or the listing floor.
• Common traits (count > 500): capped at the median sale price.

What this can’t measure

Market sentiment, hype cycles, community attachment, and “grail” status are real factors that move prices—but they’re extremely difficult to quantify in code. A dog might sell for multiples of its estimated value because a collector simply wants it, or sit unsold below estimate because the market is quiet.

⚠ This tool provides a data-driven estimate, not financial advice. Actual sale prices depend on buyer demand, timing, and market conditions that no algorithm can fully capture. Always do your own research before buying or selling.
