The value of a thing is determined by the price it will bring.

For collectors of high demand limited edition products that need a way to buy and sell those products at a price that is fair according to market demand, meet stockx, the stock market of things.  Customers of stockx are probably the folks who trolled e-bay or craigslist for hidden gems or were looking to offload their one of a kind air-jordan sneakers.  It’s difficult to determine the value of a thing without offering giving a bid and getting an ask.  Market dynamics at a micro level is super smart.   A side benefit to using the platform is validation that the product is not fake.
