Question about terminology #160

Open purefan opened 9 years ago

purefan commented 9 years ago

Could you please explain what these are? max_offer_unit_price, min_sale_unit_price

I think max_offer_unit_price is the most expensive selling listing in the TP, for example if fakeItem is being sold at a flat fee of 100 and I put a sell offer of 200 then the max_offer_unit_price would be 200, is this correct? and if someone puts a buy order of 50 then the min_sale_unit_price is 50, am I right?

Thanks

hey,

it's the other way around.

if you put an item on the TP to sell for 30s and I put the same item up for 28s then the min_sale_unit_price is 28s because if someone wants to buy it he will pick the lowest price. On Jan 19, 2015 11:43 PM, "Miguel Espinoza" notifications@github.com wrote:

@rubensayshi now Im a bit confused, Im looking at this item:

{
  data_id: 34234,
  img: "https://render.guildwars2.com/file/50113CEAABC198949852AE1979C1B9F6E000AA4B/63882.png",
  max_offer_unit_price: 59,
  min_sale_unit_price: 459,
  name: "Malign Glyphic Rifle",
  offer_availability: 993,
  offer_price_change_last_hour: 0,
  price_last_changed: "2015-01-18 20:45:17 UTC",
  rarity: 2,
  restriction_level: 1,
  sale_availability: 367,
  sale_price_change_last_hour: 0,
  sub_type_id: 10,
  type_id: 18
}

I am trying to understand how to calculate the profit from buying and selling these, for example if I bought this item at min_sale_unit_price (459), I would have to sell it at ([45.9 + 22.95 = 68.85] + 459) 527.85 to break even, and I was expecting to see the max_offer_unit_price around this number but in this case is 59, very low... so I think Im still not getting this right, could you please enlighten me a bit more?

Thanks for your time

It is like this: The lowest "buy at once" price is 459 while the highest offer to pay for that item ("sell at once") is at 59. That means the discrepancy between what people are willing to pay (59) and how much people want to get (459) is pretty high
