Price benchmarks for markets that don't have one.
Residual Index publishes weekly price indices for hard-to-price physical assets, built from realized auction outcomes — what things actually sold for, not asking prices or estimates. Every number carries its sample size. Methodology is versioned, published history is point-in-time, and revisions are disclosed, never silent.
Live indices
Salvage Price Index
Weekly median realized prices across US salvage vehicle auctions — by damage type, title brand, state, and make. Roughly 150,000 realized sales per month of coverage.
Salvage Price Index — Motorcycles
The motorcycle cut of the salvage index: realized auction prices for damaged and repossessed motorcycles.
Salvage Price Index — Commercial Trucks
Medium-duty, box, and heavy trucks sold at salvage auction — a window into commercial fleet residuals.
More verticals are in development. Each index launches only once its underlying sample is deep enough to publish honestly — see methodology.
