1.0 - A New Price Check format will be used.
How Does This Work?
1) You make a request with the proper format. The more requests, the longer it may take.
2) I check/review the request(s). Since I got a ton of studies, the new format is to keep accuracy and eliminate so much excess time.
3) I process the request(s). Do not expect historic data or such; it takes too much time to reference it out. Do not worry, I will still research/gain proper accurate information for each request; I just won't go through the time-consuming typing that is needed to reference it all.
4) I officially release the professional price check request's response. Of which, I respond to the request with price check information accordingly.
5) You can then view your resulting price checks. If you have any questions or concerns on the accuracy of any professional price checks, please feel free to ask. I'll explain my reasoning, sources, or whatever references needed to provide an accurate answer.
Note: Price check requests could be delayed by up to a week if too many are requested or if i'm suddenly hit by a ton more RL studies.

A friendly warning to all new or inexperienced sellers:
"Be prepared to experience low-ball offers, under-market offers, or offers that tend to stray from your targeted prices.
That's the reality of the SK Market.
Treasure any good/fair/reasonable offers with caution. That's how rare they tend to be.
Do your best to strive ^^", Raptor-Zy.
Tips are very welcome <3

1.1 - Price Checking Policy
1) I will prioritize Professional Price Check requests that have fee's payed in advanced.
2) I will prioritize prompt responses to those that seem nice and display gratitude; for they clearly deserve to be prioritized <3
3) I will respond to Professional Price Check requests at my convenience. Although I no-life gaming considerably, I still have a life full of constant studies, part-time work, & tasks. I do much of this effectively in advance, so that no-lifing the game is made possible. Otherwise, I tend to multitask A lot.
4) Full Price checks are automatically made for advanced fee payments. These are also automatically made for active players of notably good reputation.
5) I will provide Short, though still accurate, Professional Price Checks toward requests where fee remains pending.
6) Short Price Checks are automatically changed to Full Price Checks following the arrival of its corresponding fee(s).
7) I will be very, very sad if you make me price check an item and never pay fee.
8) I reserve the right to change and/or remove this Policy and it's related aspects should I want/need to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please be aware that Price Checks might be delayed/stopped in the event where a Power Outage, Natural Disaster, or any definitely unwanted events occur in my area. >.<

1.2 - FAQ
1. What's a Professional Price Check?
"It's a price check that's not free", (Raptor-Zy). -Light humor intended.
In all seriousness, it involves Actual references to Auction House Sales, Street Sales/Purchases, and other Factual data. Therefore, creating an Up-To-Date idea on a certain item's value. The price checks also involve potentially difficulty for selling, deflation or inflation concerns, and bonus details.
2. Why is it not free?
Because it involves spending time to collect the appropriate data to respond with an accurate perspective on a certain item's value.
Compared to a price checks made completely out of personal, potentially biased, opinions on a mere whim.
And, It can easily take me 10mins - 40mins of my personal time for each price check; so a minor fee shouldn't hurt <3
3. How long does it take to create a Professional Price Check?
Given that I have a lot of data available to me; any potentially difficult price check shouldn't take to long to make. The only delay is how long it takes me to view and respond to a Professional Price Check Request.
4. Is this legal?
You tell me. I have absolutely no idea if this is okay or not. And I'm overly-self conscious to boot. If a GM tells me to close/change thread; I'll do so as quickly as possible. Otherwise, It'll be left open.
5. Why are you doing this?
Lots of free time, Lots of Data collected, & Lots more Data to collect.

1.4 - How much does a price check cost?
Base fee of 5ce, 8ce if trouble-some/specific, or 10ce if complicated.
There are two options; a Skip-the-details blunt answer or the full answer with details.
Often, if you want a quick response, I'd minimize details though still give an accurate price check.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes; the original fee had been increased due to popular demand.
An Example Chat: (Names Hidden for Privacy)
Friend: You should really increase your fees..
Me: Why; I'm too lazy to.
Friend: Cause the time you spend on your checks aren't worth it.
Me: That's why I closed the thread
Friend: Re-open it and increase fees; Do it.
Me: I don't want too
(2 Months Later)
Me: Fine; I need something to take my mind off exams..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.5 - Optional Requests:
In-Game Mail Professional Price Check: 5ce - 10ce (1ce - 2ce for mail fee & the rest for me <3) Varies by difficult of price check.
Future View: 5ce. What is this? I will visit the time keeper to understand whether or not the item will potentially inflate or deflate.
Trading Value: 5ce What is this? It means I have to accurately price check the value of whatever you're trading for to assure that the trade is bad, fair, good, or great. Get extra details for 1ce more <3
New Optional Requests will be added as requested/discovered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 - Refund Policy
1. You will only be refunded if the price check is found up-to-date inaccurate.
2. Refund does not apply to misunderstood dated price checks; e.g., "Made an accurate Price Check on 8/20; Then you use same price check 2 months later"
3. I place refund policy here because I'm confident in my price checks; I cannot say the same for my typing.. Typos are possible.
Please be aware that Up-To-Date price checks are Literally as told. Any Updates/changes to the game can Influence the value of said items; thereby counter-acting a price check made before said changes. An idea of how potential updates may negatively or positively influence the Up-To-Date values is part of the optional requests
In the end, I made this because a friend dared me to.
