Different asset types have different depreciation curves. Most people don't know theirs.

At Predictye, we discovered something shocking while analyzing thousands of asset sales: there is no single "right time" to sell anything. The timing depends entirely on what you're selling.

Electronics: Fast depreciation, especially after a new model. Sell within three months of stopping use, or prices drop 8-12% per month.

Furniture: Slow, steady depreciation. 5% every three months. Holds value longer, but moving season (March-May) offers a 10-15% premium.

Cars: Depreciation accelerates at specific points. Model updates. Mileage milestones. Trade-in vs private sale has different curves.

Jewelry: Doesn't depreciate like other goods. Diamond resale is brutal (30-50% loss), but precious metals hold commodity value better.

Real estate: Completely different game. Appreciation possible, but tax implications, holding costs, and market cycles matter.

Most people don't know which category they're in. They apply the same strategy to everything: "sell when I'm done with it."

That works for some categories. It's terrible for others.

At Predictye, we exist to map these differences. Not all waiting pays off. Not all rushing costs you. You need to know your category's curve.

A couch seller who waits four months makes an extra $40-80. Worth it.

A phone seller who waits four months loses $120-200. Not worth it.

Same waiting. Different outcomes. Because the curves are different.

That's the insight most people miss.
