Next, the system can only query once per hour. Removing larger values is relevant, but not smaller ones. The problem I see is that people will ALWAYS buy the cheapest item. Then they remove anything outside the inner quartile range. Some details for those who think I’m misunderstanding the system: The filtering they do is to only look at the bottom 15%, and up to the bottom 30% assuming the jumps are small (less than 20% per jump). Trade goods are very well described by the market value because of the large amounts of data and sales. I should clarify that I’m mostly discussing TransMogs and BOEs, not trade goods.

So market price is always overestimating value.Įdit: Thanks for the feedback! A lot of really useful stuff.

If something has a buyout of 10k, but 1 guy sells it for 2k, the scan might not see the 2k purchase (if it happens in less than an hour). Regional sale avg is the sell price recorded by the TSM desktop app from sales. Market value is the buyout posted when the site is scanned every hour (plus some aggregation to get rid of outliers and weighting to make recent data more relevant).
