Redefining the luxury collectibles market.

Developed by a team from the collectibles, finance and python development industries, SingularityX aims to bring unprecedented transparency and liquidity to the world of luxury collectibles, revolutionising how collectors trade.


The high-end secondary market for collectibles, particularly the premium segment, has long operated in the shadows of opacity and uncertainty. SingularityX, an innovative algorithm, has been developed to change the game by ushering in a new era of transparency.


SingularityX sets itself apart by going beyond traditional publicly accessible results, utilising an extensive array of data points to offer precise valuations for collectibles. It aims to dispel the opacity that has historically plagued the luxury collectibles market. This data-driven approach empowers collectors, transforming how they navigate the market.

The ability to resell for collectors is motivated by four major factors:

METHODOLOGY

How it works.

How does a Repeat Sale Regression (RSR) index work?

The below shows how and why the Repeat Sales Regression (RSR) index starts at 100:


1. Baseline Establishment: When the RSR index is first created, a baseline period is chosen. This could be a specific year, quarter, or month. The index value for this baseline period is set to 100. This serves as our starting point or reference.


2. Price Changes Calculation: Using the RSR method, we calculate the price changes of assets that have been sold more than once. By comparing the sales prices of the same asset at different times, we can determine the price appreciation or depreciation.


3. Index Value Calculation: If, for example, the RSR method determines that, on average, assets have appreciated by 5% since the baseline period, the index value would rise to 105 (from the starting value of 100). Conversely, if assets have, on average, depreciated by 3% since the baseline, the index would drop to 97.


4. Ongoing Adjustments: As new sales data becomes available, the RSR method continues to calculate price changes. The index value is adjusted accordingly, always referencing the original baseline value of 100. So, if in the next period, assets appreciate by another 5%, the index would rise from 105 to 110.25.


5. Interpretation: An index value of 110.25 would indicate that assets, on average, have appreciated by 10.25% since the baseline period. The value "100" doesn't represent a monetary amount but is a reference point. It allows stakeholders to easily understand and interpret percentage changes over time.

What is the Calculation method?

Valuation estimates displayed are based on a number of factors:


The underlying ‘market index’ for an individual creator, brand, artist or brand, is modelled using a Repeat-Sales Regression (RSR) approach. This uses the sale price of individual assets to estimate the fluctuations in value of an average representative similar asset over a time period. The use of an RSR model has the benefit that the resulting index is based upon price relatives of the same asset that controls for the differing characteristics between assets.


The market index is then used to determine the relative volatility of an asset’s value, relative to the market as a whole.


Historic sales prices are then factored in using multiple rolling “look-back” periods, allowing the algorithm to factor in relevant price activity for a specific asset.
Relationship structures between different assets are modelled and incorporated into the algorithm, allowing behaviours of closely related assets to be factored in.

The above elements are combined in order to generate a final indicator of value.

“

Data on luxury asset pricing predominantly originates from inside dealers, auction houses, or not at all. This poses a dilemma, as these parties have a vested interest in achieving high prices (or low ones, with reserve strategies) and taking its fee off both sides of the deal.
This inherent bias in data sources has mislead collectors in the collectibles market for decades. Furthermore, the public data typically only shows a fraction of what is being bought and sold in the marketplace, offering only a part of the picture.
