How a scan gets here

The game cannot open a connection. After a scan, type /reload. The ahprice window on your computer reads that scan, keeps a copy, and sends it here. Leave the window open. About once a minute it pulls prices other people added, and the next /reload shows them in your tooltips.

In game

What you see

Tooltips show the market average, a disenchant value when this character has disenchanted that item, and how many other characters have it in bags or the bank. Alt-right-click an item for the price graph. At the auction house, click Scan, or type /ahprice scan.

Prices

Market Average

The market average uses every saved price for an item. Newer prices count more. A price from 7 days ago counts half as much as a price from today. A price from 14 days ago counts a quarter. Older prices still count, just a little.

Each look is also weighted by how many were listed at that cheapest price, up to 200. One huge stack cannot set the price by itself. A new look is saved at most once every 30 seconds.

The latest price is only the most recent cheapest listing. It can sit above or below the average when the market has moved.

Insights

Trusted crafts

Insights ranks crafts on the market average, not a single inflated listing. A suggestion has to stay profitable at that average (or at a real undercut below it), have enough of the finished item and the materials listed, and enough scan history.

If it is cheaper to buy wool cloth and craft bolts than to buy the bolts, that cheaper path is the cost. If an inn sells Ice Cold Milk for less than the auction house, the inn price is the cost. A listing more than 50% above the average is shown as unverified. A listing more than 100% above, or a huge margin with almost no history, is left off the board. Flips still lists every recipe.
