How to read asking prices
These are asking prices on Commonplace, not a guarantee of what a seller will receive. Condition, location, and whether delivery is included all move the number. We report medians so a single unusual listing cannot move the print, and a typical range so you can see the spread rather than one figure pretending to be precision.
Methodology
Listings on Commonplace, United States, asks only. Figures are as of October 22, 2026 and rounded to the nearest $25. "Typical range" is the interquartile range, the middle 50% of asks. Medians are used throughout, never averages. Cuts that are too thin to be stable are omitted rather than printed with a caveat.
