Mazalgo vs WatchCharts: market data or a dealer workbench?
The short answer: they solve different jobs. WatchCharts is a market-data reference — charts and indices, built primarily for collectors and market watchers. Mazalgo is watch dealer software for independent traders: B3AF buy ranges with inspectable comps, WTB buyers caught from Reddit and WatchUSeek within 30 minutes, deal pipeline, and margin after fees.

Is Mazalgo a replacement for WatchCharts?
They solve different jobs. WatchCharts is a market-data reference — price charts and indices, built primarily for collectors. Mazalgo is a working environment for independent dealers: buy-range pricing with inspectable comps, WTB lead capture, deal pipeline, and margin-after-fees accounting. Many dealers look at both; only one runs your operation.
Can I see the data behind a Mazalgo buy range?
Yes. Every B3AF (Bottom 3 After Fees) buy range shows the eBay comps and auction records behind it, and the formula is published on the Mazalgo methodology page. No black-box estimate.
Who is Mazalgo for?
Independent watch dealers and traders running real volume. It is not a marketplace, and not built for retail boutiques or casual collectors — a chart plus a spreadsheet is a workable setup for a couple of trades a year.
