The most profitable dealers don’t rely on gut instinct — instead, they use data to inform every buying and selling decision. Furthermore, TradeSales’ vehicle market analytics suite gives you a genuine competitive advantage, providing real-time valuations, price trend analysis, and regional market intelligence at your fingertips. As a result, you can stop guessing what a vehicle is worth and start knowing, so you bid with confidence and set reserves that actually convert.

Understanding where the market has been is essential to predicting where it’s heading. Consequently, TradeSales tracks week-to-week and month-to-month value movements, allowing you to spot depreciation curves, seasonal demand patterns, and emerging trends before your competitors do. In addition, you can time your purchases to coincide with price dips and list your stock when demand peaks — turning market intelligence into measurable profit.

Vehicle values can vary significantly from one region to another because of local demand, demographics, and supply levels. Therefore, our regional comparison tools help you understand these differences, uncovering arbitrage opportunities where you can source vehicles cheaply in one area and sell them profitably in another. As a result, you gain a level of market visibility that traditional auction attendance simply cannot match.

Before you bid or set a reserve, wouldn’t you want to know what similar vehicles actually sold for? In fact, TradeSales gives you access to historical auction performance data including sell-through rates, average hammer prices, and reserve-to-hammer ratios. Consequently, this intelligence helps you calibrate your strategy, so your bids stay competitive without overpaying and your reserves attract genuine buyer interest.

Unlike standalone valuation tools that require you to switch between platforms, TradeSales embeds market data directly into your buying and selling experience. For example, every listing you view includes relevant market context — comparable recent sales, current market position, and value indicators. Moreover, you don’t need to subscribe to a separate analytics product; TradeSales weaves the data into the fabric of every trade you make on the platform.
