How to price an item when there are none for sale or in contracts?

Hi, I found a β Spectral Vision Capture, but I can’t find it on the market and there are none in contracts.
There’s one contract with something similar, but it’s multiple collections for 10 bil. There’s a couple of buy posts in Discord for 10 and 70 mil, but considering how ingame buy orders can be, I don’t think this gives me a realistic idea.
Any advice?

The obvious way to do price discovery would be to create an auction contract. The Spectral Vision Captures by now probably only matter to people who want the full collection to turn them in, although I’m not sure if that’s still possible or not. I’m still missing four of them and have multiples of others but there are no in-game methods of arranging an exchange of these via contracts since they can’t be requested in an item exchange at all, let alone expressing a “one of” request.

Thanks. I’ve only come across auction in the Jita local spam, so thought it’s akin to the hypernet and scams - so sth to ignore. I’ll go read on it.

For some items that are rarely sold people also make Price-Check topics here at the boards in the market section, sometimes owners of such items tell what they paid for them some time ago to have a rough estimate of the value.

Also there’s an external contract history kind of, but it doesn’t tell you if it sold.
