We publish our calls. All of them.
Anyone can quote a value after the hammer falls. We log ours before the lot closes, then score it against the real all-in price the car brought — fees included, like-for-like — the hits, the misses, and the lots that didn’t sell. It’s the one thing a valuation platform can do that a price guide won’t: keep score, in public.
We’re logging Parclines’ pre-sale calls on upcoming auctions — each produced by the engine and committed before the lot closes — and building the record over the coming months. It publishes here once there’s a real track record to judge us on, not a handful of early guesses.

Our estimate is produced by the engine and committed to the record — timestamped — before the lot closes. The as-of time is on every call; the commit history proves it, not just our word.
We score against the real price paid including the buyer’s premium — the same basis our values use — so a fee difference can’t masquerade as accuracy. The hammer is shown for reference.
We publish how wide our band was next to the in-band rate, so a wide guess can’t look sharp. Lots that blew past us, and lots that didn’t sell, stay on the board.
Every call is tagged with the provenance class of the car we valued, and the stats split by it — the board reads as a live measure of our documentation debt, not a cover for it.
Parclines estimates are indicative, positioned from market-anchored comparable sales — not appraisals. We score our pre-sale estimates against the real all-in price paid (buyer’s premium included) at public auction, publish the result in full including misses and no-sales, and label each by the provenance of the car valued. Informational only.
