In the private market, prices are set by the demand for unlisted shares. Prices of unlisted shares change based on deals made between buyers and sellers, not in real time like they do on stock exchanges. Prices show how many shares are available, how interested investors are, and how much they think the company is worth because there is no central order book. Investors can better understand price changes and avoid relying on speculation if they know how demand and supply work together.

Yes, but only if there isn't enough supply.
4. Can prices go down even if the company is doing well?
Yes, if there is more supply or less demand.
5. What is the main thing that causes prices to change?
The balance between supply and demand, as well as the company's basics.
6. Are the prices of unlisted shares clear?
No, prices are not available to the public like stock exchanges.
7. How do you tell if there is a lot of demand for unlisted shares?
Increasing transactions, investor interest, and price movement.
8. What happens when the supply suddenly goes up?
Prices could either stay the same or go down.
9. Should I only invest based on trends in demand?

10. How can I keep an eye on price trends?
Using platforms, brokers, and transaction data.
To look for chances in the private market, you need to know how demand and supply affect unlisted shares and prices. Prices aren't set by the market, so demand and supply are the main factors that determine value.
Investors can make better decisions by looking at demand and supply along with financial performance, management quality, market potential, exit strategy, and due diligence. A disciplined and organized approach is still very important for figuring out how to price unlisted shares.
