Price discovery
What the programme shows about prices, and what it deliberately does not do.
Prices in the marketplace are set entirely by sellers. The programme records what sold and at what price, and shows that record. It does nothing else.
What is shown
Three figures appear alongside every listing.
| Figure | Window |
|---|---|
| Median sale price for the tier | Trailing 30 days |
| Last sale price for the tier | Most recent completed sale |
| Number of completed sales in the tier | Trailing 30 days |
All three are drawn from completed sales only. Listings that expired or were cancelled contribute nothing.
What the figures are grouped by
Figures are grouped by tier and by nothing else. There is no per-trait index, no per-permutation history, and no figure for an individual Pal.
Two Pals of the same tier show the same three figures regardless of what they look like.
What the programme does not do
The programme does not suggest a price, does not reject a price, does not set a reserve, and does not hold inventory. There is no market maker, no automated buyer, and no mechanism that acquires Pals.
No fee, limit, or restriction anywhere in the programme varies with price. A Pal listed at 1 Treat and a Pal listed at 10,000 are subject to the same rules.
Thin data
Tiers with few completed sales produce unstable figures. Where fewer than 10 sales have completed in the trailing 30 days, the median is suppressed and the count is shown on its own.
Mythic listings are usually in this position. Treat the absence of a median as an absence of information rather than as a signal.
