| The seven families above lose 4.13% a year, pooled across all arms. | ||||||||
Listings counts every listing in a family, and In estimate counts the priced, dated listings behind its values. Values at 5 and 10 years use the 4.13% a year pooled across all arms; the last column shows a family's own fitted rate where it has at least 30 dated listings. Each bar runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile of asking prices, with the marker at the typical price. The grey rate is the pooled one, because those families have too few dated listings of their own.1
Each robot gets its own value from the listings for its family and age, checked against what similar robots sold for at auction.
