Historical option prices for this thinly-traded ticker. Live quotes are wide and stale — use where each contract actually traded plus its 30-day range to place a limit order. 51 contracts (avg 181 vol/day, 51 traded recently)

ZD averages only 181 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $30.00 12-18 call last traded $24.31 on 07/28 (now $24.30/$27.80) — try a limit near $24.31. Also watch the $40.00 12-18 call last traded $16.00 on 07/06 (now $15.60/$19.20) — try a limit near $16.00; the $50.00 12-18 call last traded $8.50 on 06/30 (now $8.60/$12.80) — try a limit near $8.60.
