Well... I have a question or more
Surprise surprise lol.
I've recently downloaded the newly (improved?) updated GM script called Logikol Pricegun. It uses Coldfront, Items of Loathing and Kolmafia as sources for price data and the user can select which source to cull data from.
I checked out my values with all three sources and kolmafia thinks my overall value is 200mil and Coldfront things my value is 33mil. Wow, how hugely different those two values are! So I started looking at different reported prices and the first thing that caught my eye was a pixel boomerang is valued at 987,654,321 by mafia. This happens to be the highest priced boomerang currently in the mall.
Comparatively:
Coldfront reports 6392 and Items of Loathing reports 4667.
I don't think any source is going to be 100% accurate, but I would hope that Kolmafia's would be on account of the fact that it is so new and it was my impression that all prices are set when an item is searched or a purchase is made and would otherwise be set to 0 due to being unknown yet? Does this ridiculous value of the pixel boomerang imply that a mafia user actually bought one at that high price and submitted the data to zarqon's site? Or does it imply that there is some logic in the Logikol Pricegun script that isn't right?
I'm just trying to understand it.
Thanks,
Spiny
