What's wrong with it?

Added up... it's only about 1,500k...

Yeh.
A lot of times, some items that are rather low on the market show up as 20-50k.

I've seen several worth next to nothing show up as 2mil... Tektek isn't being reliable...

It's due to the fact that there are a few of those random items rolling around in MP that are worth next to dirt , but they are always exorbidantly priced
ex. Food Chain Green Striper-Bass-Guppy (Any)

Store Price: Not available in stores

Lowest Buy Now Price: 5,000,000g

Average Buy Price: 4,890g -35%
this messes with tektek's database when they pull for pricing on items .
also , worth gets boosted like this by gold selling firms , of which Have you list an item in the marketplace .. (usually something retarded like floor tiles for your house , something you wont miss) and they buy it out for the rediculous price altering the average prices on things .

Just wait till they update the inventories so if you have multiple items, it will show up one item with a number of how many you have.

Will throw TekTek off.

I have reliable resources.

Well, everything is subjective, so even though it's weird, it shouldn't be off by anything more than a monetary value of $5

... no shit. That's because the value of the whole damn thing is only about 2.50... depending on buyer... no shit... OH IT CAN ONLY BE THREE TIMES AS MUCH< DON"T WORRY... :|

Like I said, it's all subjective :P

yeah i've been noticing that too

I noticed that in some of the accounts sold here. I was searching Gaia for the item listed, and the value on Gaia was way less than what Tektek said it was worth.

Yes, TekTek is screwy, this is an error, boohoo, let's stop overkilling this topic. If there is a problem, repeating that there is a problem over and over and over again will not fix it.

No one asked for a retarded smartass. That was Game you just tried to correct. He did not spam, you spammed about 100 times worse than he did, gtfo :|...

And this isn't being repeated... It is being noticed. K? Bye.

Tektek may look cool, but the worth calc. internally, is a piece of shit. They made it a piece of shit to make it quicker. Take the bad with the good i guess.

Maybe someone form here could make a better calculator? Would always pull in more members.

It would be really hard to build a calculator, because we don't have the a: infrastructure to do it, and b: the continually updating database of marketplace prices!

In my opinion Tektek Values have always been too high since the worth calc's first inception mainly because it was based on marketplace values, which are flawed to begin with.

wow i didnt even notice

@First part, I don't think it would be THAT hard, I mean, we do harder shit than that... :| All you'd have to do is tell it to auto update...

@Second, yeah. I'm just selling individual items and shit... Too hard to tell when Tektek is lieing, when it hides it well. :|

@Sk8er, understandable, yet I wish they would have a fast less accurate and a slower 100% accurate versions... :|

Making one's own calculator would be a pain in the ass, considering how many items there are. I assume Tektek is cacheing their data to make it faster, and if it's not cached, it would be slow as balls. For every item, it would have to connect to Gaia to get the value - that many connections per page load would be a useless program. Cacheing the values would be incorrect, since the values change so often (as seen by the current Tektek). Unless Gaia implements some sort of RSS/XML feed of item prices (ha!), then there is no quick way to get the price of items.
A system that runs on Cron jobs based on the most popular items would probably be the most effective. If it only downloaded the prices of the most actively requested items, leaving the rare items to be requested from Gaia upon request, then it could be pretty accurate and semi-fast. The problem with that is it would have to exist for quite a while before it could 'learn' what the most requested items are, and calculating an efficient method for when to update the items and how long to keep the cache would be a pain.

Oooo, makes me want to do it. >_<
I just don't want to fuck with the 100 connections to Gaia for the item values. Maybe someone here knows of some light-weight page of item costs (e.g. RSS feed, etc.).

I tried to calculate my worth and TekTek only used half my inventory...
o_o
