It does a good job with commonly sold items on the market but there are those higher end items that rarely get sold on the market, if at all. Those items just wont have any market history as they are typically sold on the items shop part of the forums. That's where being able to find the trade history might come in quite useful. You'd just check the trade history of the item and get a decent gauge on how much it could be sold for (assuming there aren't any past sells on the actual market).

I think that some of the hyperlinks are a waste of space. The image of an item is hyperlinked to this dreary little page that offers literally nothing:

You could very easily have the "View in Torishop" hyperlink removed and have it replace what we currently have for the image hyperlink. Similarly you could also remove what we have for the image hyperlink and take us to the trade history page of when a person received that item.
If we want to declutter hyperlinks, we can also remove the "Edit" hyperlink for most of the items. The edit hyperlink takes us to the exact same page as the image hyperlink, plus 3d items don't seem to have the edit hyperlink so its not very necessary for anything other than sets, so that you can change the name of it (I could be incorrect about that).
