Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How accurate are the valuation estimates?

Our calculator uses current market data from multiple sources including recent sales on platforms like eBay, Mercari, and dedicated K-pop marketplaces. While we strive for accuracy, remember that actual resale value can vary based on market fluctuations and buyer demand.

Do you include photocards and inclusions in the valuation?

The base calculator focuses on album value without inclusions. However, rare photocards can significantly increase value – we recommend researching individual photocard values separately and adding them to your total manually.

How often are prices updated?

We review and update our pricing database quarterly to reflect current market trends. Major price changes during comeback seasons or anniversary events are updated more frequently.

Can I calculate values in different currencies?

Currently, the calculator shows values in USD, but we’re working on adding multiple currency options in a future update. For now, you can use the estimated USD value with current exchange rates for conversion.

Is my collection data saved permanently?

Your collection is saved locally in your browser using localStorage. This means your data stays on your device and isn’t stored on our servers. To keep your collection safe, we recommend exporting or saving your collection code periodically.

Why does condition affect the value so much?

Like any collectible, condition dramatically affects BTS album values. Sealed/mint albums can be worth 2-3 times more than heavily used copies because collectors value pristine condition, especially for older or rare editions.

Do you include out-of-print or rare editions?

Yes! Our database includes all official releases, including rare out-of-print editions like the original limited edition of “Dark & Wild” or special package versions. These are automatically priced higher due to their scarcity.

Can I use this for insurance purposes?

While our calculator provides excellent estimates for personal reference, we recommend getting professional appraisals for official insurance documentation. However, our tool gives you a solid starting point for those conversations.

What if I have albums that aren’t in the database?

We strive to include every official BTS release, but if you find something missing, please contact us! We’re constantly updating our database based on ARMY feedback.

Is there a way to track my wishlist or albums I want to buy?

Currently, the calculator focuses on albums you own, but we’re developing a wishlist feature for future updates. For now, you can use the notes section or maintain a separate list.
