C++'s Scroll Price Guide (AVG,STDDEV,MIN,MAX)

Wheres the donate button

 

What more these are the prices that C++ sees around fm stores sold and unsold every day, its not like he's stating what the price is precisely

 

It's not about that, but about people ignoring everything the guide says except the prices listed

 

i think Piety Guide was more efficient and more organized. sorry not sorry

 

Maybe a small change would be to put the list images in a spoiler and make the IMPORTANT text larger. Or maybe make the user sign a ToS.

 

The issue with the approach is that there's not really a reliable way to record the prices of sold items when the shop owner collects before OP has a chance to go through the FM yet.

IMO the methodology is also fundamentally flawed. Extreme outliers can be manually filtered out, but how do you differentiate between something is slightly under/overpriced and something that's indicative of market movement? Incorporating everything into mean will drive it up day after day especially if a large portion of the data is from unsold items. Newer players/people not too knowledgeable on current prices will follow the guide and the slight overprices will increase and then the guide prices will increase and we've come full circle.

EDIT: another thing is that all of the data is from Ch1. Chs3-9 don't have a lot of shops, but Ch2 is generally pretty full. That's almost half of the existing data not incorporated into the guide. I realize that it's not feasible timewise for OP to do this, but it's still a major knock against the accuracy of the guide.

 

Honestly, this just means people don't have reading comprehension/critical thinking skills when they blindly follow a guide.
Sort of just reflects poorly on the community as a whole rather than the guide, although this guide makes it easier to be misinformed/ignorant.

 

I pray to this thread every night before I go to bed. Thank you C++.

 

Your bow 30 and claw 30 prices are wrong

 

Yea Ghost. listen to the man here, 3.5m for bow 30s is not a scam.

B>all bow 30's 3.5m ea

 

Please obtain all data and check all channels; otherwise it's quite misleading

Of course, there's already a disclaimer that you only check channel 1; it's honestly more on people being lazy and not applying context to this guide.

Also, already been brought up but FM shops tend to have mostly unsold items. Many unsold items that are intentionally overpriced to obtain "offers" from people, as well as items "sold" which are sold at the actual price and then cleared from shops. Unless there's a way for the community to track items sold in the database the guide is always going to be upper tiered in price (always seeing the upper end of the range items are sold, and then normalizing the upper end as the average).

The idea for this guide is good but the execution can use some work.

 

As someone who browses the ENTIRE fm, including all channels, twice a day I can tell you a lot of your prices are wrong.

 

Also most Chaos/White Scroll sellers will instantly cash in due to them being worth a high amount of mesos.
Most of the "data" from these items are unsold given that most people wouldn't purchase and would rather attempt to offer on.
