The only factors I know develop an accurate price are, how many times
that thing is being sold for
that price, and what that actual price is. I have not yet discovered how to incorporate rarity and torishop price, but it shouldn't be a problem to figure out when I have more time on my hands.
From the small amount of data Fish gave me to experiment with, it gave me a wide, but accurate price range of an item. With much more data I could produce an extremely accurate street price for any item. It's real time because as new data is coming in, the math is still happening so it will actively show price changes.
Are there any other extremely important factors I am missing? I'm not taking into account what people sell there things for in safetrade, or on the item forum because that isn't a static price, it's the price they themselves came up with.
