Greetings fellow knights!

Lego Inc. is proud to introduce the initial roll out of the SK Price Check Tool! This was formed by averaging a number of popular merchants estimates on items and then posting it all to one spot for the community to use. While prices do fluctuate, we hope these price lists will help everyone in game to have a better understanding for the value of specific items and the ability to make informed decisions when buying/selling. The tool is not 100% completed yet and will continue to be improved both with aesthetics and item content. We encourage those using it to submit any discrepancies you have through the feedback boxes on each item page. This will help us find item prices that may have slipped through the cracks or changed over time and need updating. We will continually monitor submissions and adjust prices accordingly. The link can be found below:

UPDATE: The tools inventory has now been completed (9/19/2017). We are planning to incorporate a few other special things, but it's main purpose is now fulfilled.

SK Price Check Tool!

or here is the link: http://tiny.cc/skmerchants

Any feedback or suggestions knights have can be directed to Legobuild in game.

Cheers!

Good effort but as always

Good effort but as always with these price check tools, fluctuations are gonna be extremely hard to keep track of. Live price checks are always advisable, not to mention the precedent a few merchants banding together determining and more importantly agreeing on prices set for the market. Not to be cheeky but unless you agree to be second guessed on everything here this is mostly a great tool for merches not having to justify their prices anymore and instead bouncing buyers to this. Doubt they'll be bouncing their sellers to this, however.

I agree with what you say.

I agree with what you say. Prices do change drastically in the blink of an eye. We are hoping this tool can be used as a reference point to help dictate what items are very rare vs more common. While there is no way for it to be perfect, we do hope it can help some make better informed decisions if no one is available to give them a price check at the moment and they need something to go off of. Some more popular items are easier to keep a more accurate price on while things that are seen less often are harder. None-the-less we will try to keep things as up to date as possible. Any input players have is more then welcome to help it be more beneficial to the community!

So far most seem to really like the user interface and find it is easy to navigate and get around, we are glad to hear such feedback!

Will it have armor helms swords guns bombs and shields? I suggest only putting clean item price perhaps with a separate list of approximate values of uv, But that may be hard as ideal uvs very for different items (blitz with ctr max, ect.) Will change value dramatically.

It is pretty easy to use even though there's so much tradeables in the games. I think the only thing missing is a search box but that might not be the easiest thing to implement.

I would like you to point me to whoever is buying generic 1*-4* mats at those prices, because I have one hell of a buisness opportunity for them.
outside of AH overselling mats, this is the first time I ever saw mat prices that high for most of them.

@Bush-The-Knight

This is why on the front page we have the following notice:

"tweaks to pricing and potential missing items will be addressed, these prices may jump around as we survey the market. Please use our submit comment tool to help us improve our accuracy!"

We would love feedback from players to help improve the price accuracy.

Since this is a free tool to players, and the number of total items in the game is quite substantial, it is being updated as time permits.

Hazza~

Well, the long awaited time has come, costumes have been added to the tool, along with general pricing of recipes per request.

As mentioned before, continue using the feedback/comment tool to send in messages for any items you feel price may be off, or you can always send me a mail in game.

Working on a couple other special parts to incorporate, but these will just be icing on the cake, for now generally everything should be listed on our pricing website.

Except for Punkin Cinnamug which is priceless. Except it isn't, because we can put a price on the labor that goes into harvesting coffee beans, and then pay those workers less than the value of their labor and eventually replace them with machines. Sorry, I meant to say sugar cane assuming they use that over some kind of corn product, because there's literally 50g of sugar in a medium (unless you call it 'grande' as fancy coffee shop lingo and nice furniture can cure diabetes 11 times out of 10) and I'm pretty sure that much sugar outclasses however much espresso they add. If I sound bitter it's because I drink my coffee black.

Also you spelled Caladbolg as Calabolg and I think your celestial items at 25K E (vortex and saber) are a bit low but then they might not be if you're looking to turn a profit and not use the item. I know Zeddy recently bought the bomb for 50K E, so if they really are going for 25K good job whoever sold him that, you ripped someone off. Poor bear literally comes on to discord saying he feels dirty and I can totally get that because I've been there.

@Fehzors: Thanks for the feedback, I have added that item and corrected the spelling, in our database i averaged a few other amounts from recent sales into those two celestial items also and their amounts have been reflected.

I'd venture to guess that absolutely no one would sell the 5* helms/armors/shields for 200kcrn a piece. They'd be losing money on the unbind fee alone. That is, unless it's 200kcrn on top of the unbind fee (which should be mentioned somewhere... as 3,4,5* gear needs to be unbound to trade).

That being said, I'd also venture to guess no one in their right mind would be buying the majority of the helms/armors/shields.

@skepticraven: This is the

@skepticraven: This is the sad truth of many "standard" gear items. With many items listed in the supply depot, it leaves items base value low as all prices listed there are for clean gear, the post at the top tries to add some clarity for the value of UV's on items. Gear is a very complicated field, and if all at once 4 people are selling an acheron asi vh, likely they will sell for significantly less than if there is only 1 acheron asi vh available with 3 buyers all wanting it.

In the end, what the tool is hinting at with those prices is basically if you have those base 5* gear items with no UV on them, they are NOT worth the unbind price even. Some may get lucky that is you happen to have a clean item, which is not listed on the supply depot, maybe you can sell it for unbind or slightly over, but generally people looking to buy gear venture to get something with a UV on it, which you would then need to add the UV value to the base price of the gear.

The way these base prices were computed was roughly the cost of actually crafting that item, taking everything into account, the materials, orbs, heating, etc. That was how for example the 200k cr number was computed as a base for 5* gear, those willing to spend the time crafting it, obviously their time brings down how much it costs to simply buy a gear item.

A note that could be added to the material prices page:

Typical bulk pricing for them goes between 2.5x-10x the vendor pricing.
This means:
0*: 2.5crn-10crn
1*: 2.5crn-10crn
2*: 12.5crn-50crn
3*: 25crn-100crn
4*: 62.5crn-250crn
5*: 125crn-500crn

Certain high demand mats (such as statue-crafting, ingredients for high demand UV crafters) will go above this bulk pricing estimate.

I believe you made some errors the hallow items are worth a negative amount as cheeto is a downgrade from normal items you must pay people to take them off your hands.

On a more serious note, I'm seeing offers for mixmasters not being taken for 150K CE and offers for orbit guns at around 120K ce here.

Vaib's offers-

There are several others without offers in them. I'd bump it up to about 200K CE maybe? I still wouldn't sell mine for that but someone out there probably would.

Thanks for the feedback. We have adjusted the prices based on a few others inputs/sales recently with respect to the mixmaster and orbit gun. Before we make another adjustment to the price of these, we will likely wait and see what the next month or so has in store for the community. (you never know what cyber monday may have in store)

Edit: we have added a few missing items (diamond/emerald costumes, dangerous accessories)

1,000 Energy (E) = 1 KE K

1,000 Energy (E) = 1 KE

K stands for multiply the number by 1,000.

You can view the price check tool link in the first post to see the approximate prices of the different types of splash trunks.

good effort, should probably add a combo box at the top so you can select and get the price without having to search (the list is fine too though)

That was originally how I had it structured, with drop down boxes that you could navigate around with, but people found that to be a little slow and cumbersome, this ctrl+F method brute force allows you to (hopefully) find what you want quickly and move to the next item.

If there was a lot of interest in going back to that method I could look into it again.

you can always have both then, a single row with the combo at the top and the text file afterwards, but it is fine if more people prefer the simple method

I considered that as well, but sadly at that point it would become somewhat double effort, since if the price is updated in one spot, it would then need to be updated in another as well, effectively doubling the work to keep it updated. Similarly for new items, they would need to be added in two locations.

Number of updates~

Slightly large update to the merchant tool today~

Prices have been updated/gone through for all items.
Items now have a min/max price range instead of just a single number. The idea behind this tool was to help provide buyers/sellers a rough range of what things tend to cost, not to simply state an exact price of an item. That is left between the buyer/seller to discuss. There are also other factors such as crown/energy price at the time, and if any promotions are going on that could effect someone wanting something more/less.
A number of players have requested all the items be in a similar currency so it's easier to compare. Therefore all items are now listed in crowns. Feel free to use the energy price converter located on the home page of the site if you need to convert.
We have added a site updates tab so you can review when things are updated and what is changed easier.
We will be tracking the supply depot sales under flash sale history, therefore the Valentine's day one has been listed.
We will be incorporating a buy/sell tab where players can send in a mail requesting they be listed there. We hope this can help expedite finding a buyer or seller for whatever item you may be looking for.

As always if there is any feedback post below, mail me, or send in a comment on our site~
