So - accuracy. How to tell the difference between a great deal and price fixing? A couple things to do-
1. The info you need is in the game logs on the server. If the devs would publish an RSS feed or something of all trades and /auctions, with player names obscured, it would be very easy to consume and generate accurate lists. It could be behind a password that only the wiki itself has. It should not be particularly hard technically to do for the devs, although they probably never would do it. Even so, maybe ask?
2. A common tactic when averaging noisy data is to discard the high and low ranges, such as throwing out the top 10% and bottom 10%.
