Everyone know its important to be well informed about prices before selling or buying items in Project Entropia.

That's a trade secret

Ron, do you mean this one?

aah yea that 1

oooh sibuk looks scary at that picture

PERC is a great resource. However, it is being relied on too heavily by some.

Now we all know buyouts are not reflected on PERC. So I beleive that high ticket items are grossly understated by PERC. An example would be a weopon I was trying to sell. Three people I talked to stated that PERC says the price should be +750. Well, it sold after one hour in auction for +1200.

Hmmm, maybe this is good for the traders market? Or is it falsly devaluing items. Very much like falsly devaluing stocks and other Wall Street scams. Anyone ever seen "Boiler Room"???

Pricefinder works by gathering the info for ending auctions from the Project Entropia client loader. This is done every second minute every hour, every day. The system is automatically adding all new information gathered from the clientloader into our very own database. This information can then later be displayed for you the user in an easy to read fashion. Currently there is over 45.000 entries in our database, and it keeps on growing for each day that passes, ensuring you always can find the lastest price development for a specific item.
Rare items that arent sold via the auction very often can have changed a lot in price since the last entry were made in our database, it is therefore adviced you ask other people inside Project Entropia about prices of such items.


I think wehave tried to inform people that rare items shouldent be priced via pricefinder

I think PERC is a wonderful resource. And currently there would be no way for them to be able to obtain information on buy outs unless MA were to hand over this information to them.... perhaps in the future?

You have difinitly done a great job. That doesn't mean people will read the disclaimers or even worse, try to bend the data in their favor.

i find it a decent guide alse but ofc it dosnt replace common sence and nor the power of contacts

dirk i want to change my quote now.

'Pricefinder is a great tool for watching the prices of common items, however rare items should be researched more throughly'

of course I made that as long as possible. someone will have to shorten it up.

[edit: and yes hally. one should always be wearing their corrective eyewear when trading. *dash puts his glasses on*]

i say ego grab because we get to be shown off in our armor with guns blazing. I wanted to be holding my yellow christmas flower, but Starfinder said I looked like a sissy.
