The professionals have the information to see what is happening. You do not. With ETFs you know the trade price, but you do not know whether it is fair.
Wider spreads are more likely on the smaller, lower volume, or niche ETFs. You can see the spread info for free on https://www.etf.com (not up to the minute of course).
Fair? There's a spread on any share, ETF or not.
