PL Market Somewhat Corrupt... I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!

[DanielRH]

Hi All

During the last few weeks, i have been merching in balefort.

While i was there i have witnessed how much the market is corrupted, why the other day i saw a Vibra Battlesword of the Rift in the CS for 9ook!!!


I think that this is really annoying and that something should be done to help fix this problem.

I have developed a utility which will help provide accurate market data so people will be able to know what the ACTUAL going price is for the item and not some botched up number that some kid made up!

The one thing that it requires is when people sell an item, they will have to enter in how much they sold it for (its gonna have a min/max based on the average price).

Then the utility will calculate the average price that the item has been sold for that week.

Im having a community testing period where i will be making changes to the utility as ideas come in...

I would now like to introduce the PL Market Data Utility!!!

You can try it out at http://www.pocketlegendsfans.com/market/, please enter in the items you recently sold so you can try it out!!!

I would love to hear everyones comments and suggestions on this!!!

Great Idea, mate. Now for the forumers work. Perhaps you should do every two weeks instead of one. Also, reset data after every update. My .02

EDIT: Also, two words, search function. Please.

From just looking through it, it looks great! The only thing maybe that I'd suggest so far is a search function. I'm going to look more into it and start inputting values soon and see if I can gather up a few more suggestions.

What happens if buyers enter low price info and sellers enter high price info?

Just wondering...

[Pharcyde]

What happens if buyers enter low price info and sellers enter high price info?

Just wondering...

Example:
Unsuspecting new player gets a expert recipe drop. Sells at the cs for 1000 gold.
New player purchases and relists at.. say 500,000 gold.

The average buy/sell price of a expert armor is 250,500.

Edit: Opps, just saw the buyer low seller high. I'm not sure either >.<

[Fyrce]

Cause you know, if I wanna buy and I know about the db... I would go help it achieve the correct price

very nice! I bookmarked it And i added that i sold a force cutter of the rift for 1k

[noobmigo]

Hey, I don't know if it's just me, but I think you are missing
Artisan / Expert / Armsman / Blacksmith

Also items of different levels. Like a level 41 scorpion helm of isis, not just scorpion helm of isis, because the price differs greatly between levels sometimes.

Only working solution for current situation is removing all items and gold Ingame and start from empty without CS.

Wow you added everysingle item even the non-tradeable ones

[WJJ]

I think this would be very effective but only if its implemented into the in game CS. The premise is outstanding. But as is, it relies to much on player input and we all know how reliable mmo communities are. Maybe if you only let trusted merchants and buyers input data it would be more trustworthy. My .02.

*edit*
Both items I looked for were not listed. Expert Reinforced leather Lvl 5. And mega mage gemstone cowl Lvl 55.

That's a great idea Daniel, I always see tons of different prices. Some which are wayy overpriced.

Very, very nice! I bookmarked this as well. Thanks!

Hi all!To answer some questions:I used my item database and it is not complete yet, nor did I have the time to take out the non sellable ones... Working on it! Only the seller will be inputting data, the buyer will just look at the graphs.Yea I know, it requires user input.... I think the devs should make a CS API so people can make utilities for it! Working on a search function, Infact I'm working on making it look/operate more smoothly!Hope that answers some of peoples questions, thanks or the great thoughts/comments!

Finally, a problem that takes even Daniel some time!
I'll be logging in prices with me and Evolt's sales.

Nice tool, but there is a problem. Yesterday I sold a Force Cutter of the Rift for 7200, approximate 3000 above market value. I wanted to enter the price, but got this warning:

The price you entered is too low/high, please try again Back
The min/max for this item is; Min: 500 Max: 1500

So basicly the first person entering an ammount sets the price and bandwith (+/- 50%?), which is wrong in my opinion.

Nice tool, can be useful if filled in the right way. How do you think the item adding work? I just sold my 45 Alien Staff of Fate, but it is not listed...

[ZeraJade]

In games cs sales can be easily tracked in database (I think?) and the idea of listing an item and beng given a warning that 'the item generally sells for more or less do you wish to proceed?' is great.

I can't tell you how many things I've sold for way low because it didn't sell quickly (funny, vibra is on of those!) but then again there are other things I sell cheaper just to be rid of it quickly, usually recipes.

Other things I know are worth more just don't sell and after relisting so many times, you start losing more than it's worth.

I'm gonna play with your data base at work today

Now we can get a much more accurate price on items instead of a made up price from out of the blue. Great job Daniel

Edit: I also agree with Noobmigo, adding a search would make it much easier.
