Then along came Stonks/market insider
This made this thread even more pointless as just about anything and everything could be found with its selling/buying history and an average price (there are only a few things not found as they are so rarely sold their values are unknown).
Here is a link to what I use
- open it
- click on file
- click MAKE A COPY
- name it
- Save
To use it select Pokemon or Items, enter the name of the Pokemon/item then use the drop down arrows as needed in the other descriptors. Hover over "your link" - click on this and it will show you the price history in graph form.
People are SO accustomed to this being the "bible" of pricing guidelines they refuse to acknowledge or use anything else even if it is more accurate.
When you ask "what is the price of X Y Z" - guess what - we use the Market Insider to check. Don't expect others to eagerly do this for you. It is faster if you do it yourself. It isn't hard after you've done it a few times. Try it!!
@Ravenswing You have no idea how much I appreciate this; this is so incredibly useful! No worries, I'm not at all averse to your method; I'm actually deeply grateful for it. I don't generally assume people are "eagerly doing it for me" -- I asked because I was genuinely curious if there was a more effective method. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Now I'm wondering if the mods have a method of pinning your post (or something) so that other people can find it more readily.
Some examples:
Vivillon (Fancy) Sitewide frequency: 1 / 653
Vivillon (Poke Ball) Sitewide frequency: 0 / 1,602
Both are stated with 142k what totally makes no sence, when the amount OS is 1k difference and both aren´t available atm.
Even more clear it´s when it comes to the Retros from Retro Radar(prices are for non-shiny).
Venusaur Sitewide frequency: 168 / 1,129 - 23k
Charizard Sitewide frequency: 200 / 828 - 47k
Blasoise Sitewide frequency: 136 / 610 - 47k
Articuno Sitewide frequency: 183 / 801 - 114k
Zapdos Sitewide frequency: 175 / 539 - 237k
Moltres Sitewide frequency: 176 / 430 - 237k
Meganium Sitewide frequency: 156 / 601 - 28k
Typhlosion Sitewide frequency: 191 / 1,172 - 28k
Feraligatr Sitewide frequency: 149 / 770 - 43k
How can something with a sidewide frequency of 601 have the same worth like something with a frequency of 1,1k and compared to the Vivillons, how can Vivillon(Fancy) be worth 142k, while Meganium(Retro) is only worth 28k, if both aren´t available at all and the amount of Users who want them continiously raise?
I think through the fact, that some users sold Pokemon too cheap stonks just take that as regulare price, but didn´t(or can´t, cause it´s not programmed for that) include the information, that those Pokemon aren´t available for years(unown how many are lying on banned or inactive Accounts), which would normally cause the price to rise rather than fall over time.
Sry, when I often find ways to speak against Stonks, cause it´s pretty helpul in most of the cases, but I´m not fully happy with it and I think that´s something worth to speak out.
Am I right, that stonks only count 'sold trhough AH' but not 'through GTS'?
