Unfortunately, the trailing six months isn't a meaningful figure given the annual seasonality of the niche. Value would be over stated in the spring (when profits are high) and under stated in the fall (when profits are low).

And while, theoretically, it could be possible to create a ton of fake transactions to boost the sale price, it'd sure be a heck of a lot of work for little payoff. You'd need legitimate transactions, otherwise you'd simply be returning the motors and reducing revenue.

It'd also likely be fraud.
