Deep learning models outperform statistical methods in used electronics price forecasting

A new benchmark study systematically compares deep learning and statistical models for forecasting the resale prices of used electronics. Researchers found that the N-BEATS deep learning architecture significantly outperformed classical statistical methods, achieving a 43% reduction in Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) at a 365-day horizon. Notably, a single N-BEATS model trained for the longest horizon generalized effectively to shorter forecasting periods, indicating its robustness and stability. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate pricing for subscription services and resale platforms by improving forecasting models for volatile markets.

    Deep Learning vs. Statistical Models for Multi-Horizon Price Forecasting of Second-Hand Electronics: A Systematic Benchmark

    arXiv:2610.10727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forecasting resale prices of used electronics is critical for subscription-based platforms where pricing errors translate directly into risk. Unlike structured financial markets, second-hand electronics exhibit high volatility, sp…
