AH Price list ..... Impossible i think not.Follow

Well after alot of though i have desided to take on the Impossible. I am going to make a Spread Sheet with AH prices From each AH, SanD, Jueno, Bastok and Windhurst. I will be putting the Lowest and Highest price sold.(Ex 1,200-1,500). I will make a link to D/L it. It will be made in Excel. So you can edit it to your likings. Why? You ask. Because im tired of throwing stuff away that i could have sold (When i fight new mobs) or traded for some good gil. Sence our inventory is so limited i thought it would help to have a Rough price on the items new mobs drop. I might update it every few months if not longer depends on what happens when the PS2 version hits the market. Look for the link to D/L in a few weeks.

While it's not impossible, it's a lot of hard work. I started doing the same thing just for Cooking Ingredients. It took me 3 hours and I didn't even get around to the Jeuno AH before I got bored and wanted to get back to playing. ^^; It's not a bad idea, just very time consuming to do. I will warn you though, since I've used my list I've learned to still check the AH for the current prices of items before going out to farm for specific items to sell. Otherwise you could waste a lot of time on collecting something that doesn't sell as well as you thought it would.

What would be really convenient in my opinion is a list of where to purchase items outside of the AH and for what price. I've since started a list for spells which has come in extremely handy. You'd be suprised at how spells that only cost 3k sell for twice as much at the AH just because people don't know where to find them. There are a lot of NPCs about towns who sell random items. If you know where to look there's a lot of good deals to be found outside of the AH.

Anyway, good luck to you in your endevour.

I think this would be more trouble than its worth. Some prices have more swings than a playground! Today I was auctioning my Burning Cesti, the lowest price was 5,500 highest 6k. Before work I checked to see if they had sold and the low price had dropped to 4k!

I usually just write down an approximate cost and figure in about a 1k swing up or down (on bigger items).

Now a spreadsheet on NPC items.... that would be sooooooo wonderful! It would make crafting so much easier.

I think alot of you are missing the point here. He wants this primarily as a tool to decide what items to keep and which to drop when hes hunting. Thats why I said in my post best use for what he wants to do.

To try and keep a running db of going prices at the four AH's you're going to need a lot of people to keep it updated, it's something that changes a lot. Not simply the price fluxuations, but the items themselves change. Look at how hard it is to keep track of all the items in the game- this website does nearly weekly updates on 40+ items/quests/monsters And those things don't have a price variable that changes regularly.

I am interested in this idea, I tried making a linkshell for people to get price checks with. The idea was you could ask someone who was at any of the AHs to price check for you. It hasn't really taken off yet, only 3 people in the LS.

I've also created an excel template for keeping track of items I buy/sell so I can analyze prices and profits etc but I found that if I would just go level I made a lot more money than trying to find optimum profitability.

Im not saying your idea isnt good; I would love to see it and help you. Maybe the people who keep the item db's at this website could just add some more fields to the db of Bastok-AH Price, Wind-AH price, San-AH price, etc. and players can submit information and keep it updated. There would need to be some kind of incentive though, but it is a rough idea. Oh well.

Best wishes and goodluck,

I have started to do this as well... Mainly comparing prices between bastok and windurst right now. I checked crystals, some weapons and armor, and most black spell scrolls... Out of everything I've noticed, weapons are generally same price everywhere except for the rare/special ones (such as ones with additional effects or rare drops from NM's). The spells vary in price just a little bit more, but not much. Unfortunately, I need big money to make money from buying at one and selling at the other. =\.
