How do you research what an item is worth?!

EC fat cats overprice items knowing this is how people look for value on them. Personally I'd camp as much of the stuff you need yourself if time allows.

Getting items as a drop is far, far more rewarding than buying them for sure. And you get a story to tell on how you obtained it.

My rule of thumb is buy low, sell high. Yeah I know,.. nothing special. Low level flipper mentality but it's done me good for even buying EC upgrades.
9/10 it takes longer to buy an item at a reasonable price than it would have taken to go get it myself. Sitting in EC is not fun and the high risk of dealing with people who may be, special, isn't fun. Add on top of that trying to read EC auction trade spam.

I use gina to search for item names and do an audio msg. in the past when gearing alts I have alt tab'ed out of EQ and do other things. Then if the audio plays I tab over to check. I don't sit in ec and sell things or flip, frig that noise.

IF PEOPLE RAN THE SOFTWARE... Ahungry tracker would be up to date.
I have run the software and can confirm it updates the site.

The auction logger works by having the p1999 gaming community upload logs from their local log file (turned on by typing /log in game) and running this program here:
Auction Logger (Windows)
Auction Logger (GNU/Linux)
Auction Logger Shell Script (GNU/Linux or MAC)

Also get on ahungry's case about adding missing items. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
