Global trade search tool needs YOUR help.

By running our addon and client. Your guild listings as well as any item you seen by using guild store search function will be automatically upload to the site for other people to search and browse. The collected data will also be used to generate price info for everyone~

If you want to contribute more to the community or if you wish to help boosting up your guild's sale by uploading an entire guild's listings, you are more than welcome to do so!

Here are some screen shoots of the site, addon and client

Install Instruction:

1. Download and unzip the files under ESO addon folder (default is Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns) Or you can install it with Minion
2. When you are playing ESO, run the client executable (client.exe) under Client folder
3. Enjoy the game

In game API
1. To get TTC's price info simply do TamrielTradeCentrePrice:GetPriceInfo(itemLink)
This will return a TamrielTradeCentre_PriceInfo Object

Code:

{
       Avg,
       Max,
       Min,
       EntryCount, --# of listings
       AmountCount, --total # of items
       SuggestedPrice --suggested price low. Suggested high = SuggestedPrice * 1.25
}

2. To get TTC's internal item information (various internal Ids)
TamrielTradeCentre_ItemInfo:New(itemLink)

Q:How does this addon work?
The addon collects all the item listings that you seen in the guild store and uploads them to the site. The site then uses all the data collected by all players to generate price info for everyone.
You can also use the website to search for the location of an item using way better filter than the default Guild store GUI. But it is not guarantee the item is still there since low price items tends to get sold fast. You will have to use your own judgment based on the last seen column to predict whether its still available.

Q:How is the suggested price calculated?
1. Remove outliers
2. AVG(price of the lowest 30% items) * 0.8

Q:Whats the difference between average/suggested price vs sales average?
Average/suggested price are calculated using listing data while sales average is calculated using actual sales data. Both listing and sales data are collected from all TTC users across all guilds.

Q: How fresh is the pricing data?
Very fresh! Naw im kidding, its based on Data from yesterday

Q: How big is TTC
It uses around 6mb of RAM for pricing info and around 20mb at most for entries you have seen.

1. Fixed an issue causing guild trader location to be null
2. Added additional check to detect config file corruption and attempt to reset it automatically

Client 3.26 Release Notes:

1. Reworked login system to use user's default browser (external) instead of an outdated Internet Explorer(embedded) to comply with the latest security standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-native-apps-03)
2. Added logout button

P.S. please make sure your firewall is not blocking loopback IP (localhost) and TTC has sufficient right to bind to it.

2. No longer adds divider if no price info is available

Client 3.24 Release Notes:
1. Fixed an issue causing scan progress to be reset by AGS's auto search feature
2. Added a safeguard to client's setting file. If the file became corrupted it will be auto removed so that the next run will be able to get thru without error.
3. Added Elsweyr's trader locations
4. Fixed an issue causing last updated string to show up in native client's locale instead of target locale when using price to chat with a different locale than the native one.

Client 3.23 Release Notes:
1. Fixed two compatibility issues with Awesome Guild Store (more to come later)
a) Price not showing in store page when AGS is enabled
b) UI error when trying to purchage item when AGS is enabled
2. Updated the logic for personal listings to be consistant with community scanned ones. Last seen for personal listings will only get updated when user opens the guild store and click on the listings tab or when user lists new item/remove existing item from the store. (Used to be based on user's last login. However ZOS's API seems to skip some entries and thus causing the cached version to be unreliable. Causes more confusion than good to use the login time due to this)
3. Fixed an issue causing price to chat to show up multiple times when the language of the current client's locale is selected
4. Uses sub menu for price to chat when there is more than one language selected
5. Removed the one time guild store scan due to point 2

P.S. due to some backend structure change the saved settings will be reset. Your price data will stay safely since its downloaded from the server.

Client 3.22 Release Notes:
1. Wrathstone API update
2. Store full scan code completely revamped. New scan logic will retry on failure (too many searches). In case of the game force close the store UI TTC will attempt to resume the scan the next time store is opened.
3. Added the ability to do price to chat in different languages regardless of client's locale

Known issue: The new ESO Guild Store UI has a bug which it will not update the UI listings when the search is initiated with API calls. Thus you are going to see the search result panel stay the same thru out the whole scan process.

P.S. New items will be added in batch. Thanks for your patience.

5. other small fixes

Client 3.10 Release Notes:
1. Uses file lock instead of Mutex since Avast hates Mutex after fall creator's update. TTC should be able to live happily with Avast again (Tested on Win 10 fall creator and Win 7 latest with Avast Free)

Phinix Forum posts: 186 File comments: 1781 Uploads: 32	I have made millions of gold at my obscure social guild's trader that I know I never would have if people had to randomly find us and search stores one at a time for items they need, all across Tamriel. So, many thanks! EDIT: The rest of this post was about maybe adding a value-over-time feature, like a graph on item tooltips or the website to see how values fluctuate over time (30-90 days?). However the main reason I was asking about it was probably in response to normal short term volatility and not any large scale market manipulation, so file this in the "would be nice" category.

I figured the reply would be something like this.
Is it possible to add only the auto-use of the lowest suggested price? The way I see it people that want to automate this aren't really looking for maximum profit.

But maybe running a poll to see what others think could help?

Or put an option to choose which price to use/none?

Yes. The collected data will be used to calculate price suggestions and any one running the addon will be able to see this in game.

Where did you find the instruction to visit banker? I must have forgot to remove it from the instruction. Its obsolete.

scanning should appear in 5min in most cases.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Here are two lua serializers to convert lua into c#/js table

I vaguely recall being told that median is less skewed by severe outliers, which seems to be a favored tactic for some of the more blatant attempts at market manipulation.

There are papers (I am told) written on wow AH theory using statistical data to prove all kinds of thing by undergraduate students or people with a PhD. I only know because I recently went to a discord dedicated to statistics.

Those people were very assertive and blatantly... I can't think of a good word that I could put in the forums. Simply put they have a great deal of knowledge and someone with zero knowledge they remind you that statistics has a purpose.

To them nothing should ever ever ever ever ever ever be removed from a data set for any reason whatsoever unless you can mathematically prove why it should be removed. To them if you cannot articulate why with mathematical proof you don't know what you're talking about and you shouldn't be doing it.

Since this is a game and there's an intended purpose for showing a price using the average or the mean or the median or trimming an outlier I just do it anyway. I'm not trying to solve real-world problems.

However as much statistics as I have used to try and help with people that skew prices, it simply will not stop it.

What is the saddest thing to me though is that if the people wanting the price to go up would simply put a legitimate sale up for the item and sell it at the price they want the price would trend upward naturally.

Take for example all of the jewelry crafting things like chromium grains. It would be rare if not nonexistent that someone would put up a price that isn't going to be something they're going to sell it for.

So if you look at a scatter plot for jewelry crafting items everything trends up nicely over 90 days or however many days you are viewing.

The problem is people have an intention for posting those ridiculous prices. They might just want people to undersell so they can buy it cheap and sell it for more later. They could just want to make a bunch of money and they want everybody to think it's more valuable than it is. I could go on and on.

I spent many weeks trying to figure things out and I can honestly say that really isn't much you can do.

I apologize if I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but I've been thinking about this recently.

The issue is that market manipulation of rare items is very easy with TTC using average:

For example, assume you have 10 items selling for 10k each. If you get ahold of 2 of them, post one for 500k (which you would pay 5k to post), the average selling price shows up as around 54.4k. For the cost of 5k, you've raised the perceived market price by almost 45k which you can then sell your second item for. And if you turn off synching personal sales, you might even be able to retrieve it and sell the first item too, or just do it with one item.

The frequency of times I see the max price being 10, 20, or even more times the average leads me to believe this is not uncommon. And the reverse of posting ultra-low to drop the price just isn't practical for a whole variety of reasons.

It seems to me like using a median price would severely limit the ability to do this.

Edit: I know the suggested price fixes many of these issues, but based on people posting price checks in chat, a ton of people don't have it enabled.

You are right on point on the last note. Suggested price already solved all the issue you mentioned and its the ideal figure to be looked at. However people are probably scared of things that they are not familiar with. If you go around and ask people if they know what median is. I believe more than half of them will tell you no and those people will still prefer an average instead. So if you do know statistics then use suggested price. if you are not into stats and want to stick with the old fashion average then....(eventhough i really want to get rid of it. i guess its there to stay).
