goonquset gets its pricing info from reading what the offers are in EC?

ouch

I think goonquest is a great resource, but not without it's faults, almost entirely due to this.

Some clown is asking 4k for a 1500pp item adversely effects the uploaded logs. This obviously skews the data and messes with the market. This can be even more pronounced with rarely seen items.

I use it, but I don't trust it. Usually I have a gut-feel number in mind and check the site to reassure I was right.

RE: erratic prices....one thing thats nice about goonquest is that if you click on an item and scroll down the page you can see every record that went into the top line mean/median.

So if you don't trust the top line you can check that it wasn't something like 9 people offering 100pp one time each, and some jackass asking 2000pp 50 times.
