Default is the auction site accurate?

been trying to buy some things based off the auction site and got responses from several sellers I was trying to negotiate with that the p99auction site is not an accurate representation of what the market rate is for some items.

several people have been telling me that there are people who sway the average price by fake WTS linking items to drive the price down. wasn't sure if he was BSing me or if he was legit.

I do it all the time personally. The items on wiki.project199o.com are more accurate imo. Dont just look at the average though, look at the 20 or so listings, find the price that appears the most and go with it.

It's questionable at times. Item value on p99 is a perception.
Then account for the fake sales and people making alts to jack up prices listed there.

Those kind of people will tell you that you're asking too much, Then turn around and spam wts for 12 hours everyday at twice that price.
I know of one person who doesn't play the game other then to TunnelQuest. Meanwhile he's ruining the game for people who actually play the game.

It's not the auction site(s)'s fault though. They just parse what people auction in EC, which doesn't show how much people actually pay for thing.

I'm upset people don't understand this and some people choose to abuse this.

If you really want to stick it to the tunnelquesters, stop buying and selling shit and play the game.

On my site (ahungry) I've only ever shown the last 3 unique /auction lines by any given seller, so this helps avoid any one person being able to significantly impact a listing (although I have no way to detect alts also /auctioning the same item).

The wiki is the best representation of long term item value/listing, but as always, an item is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it (and this differs from person to person obviously).
