Sometimes it seems like people will just accept trades, "just because it sounds good". I often wonder if certain deals are good. Is there a "standard" for commonly used items used for trading? I know there has been a thread dedicated to rune values, basically Ist as the "dollar" standard, but is there something similar for pgems, or other commonly traded items such as charms, world Stone shards, statues, essences or tokens of absolution? For example, how many pgems would an Ist be worth? Are statues worth more than an Ist? How many pgems would buy a statue?
I understand that personal value sometimes gets in the way and a buyer may pay more if he/she thinks its worth more, but the opposite is true as well, maybe the buyer thinks his/her item is worth more than it really is. Is there some kind of general guide that everything can be related to, perhaps pgems being the common denominator since it's the lowest valued traded item? Even among pgems, amethysts and rubies are generally valued more than the others? How does an Amethyst stack up to an Ist, or a statue?
I also understand that certain websites value things much higher than this one, but I do most of my trading here. It would be nice if there were some kind of "standard" for items traded! Anyone have something like this, or willing to put something like this together?

Can be used to make Runewords:
The market fluctuates too much for anything all-encompassing like this to stay accurate for more than a few weeks. Even more so for Ladder.
I'm not playing D2 as much as before. I'm too lazy to edit all my trade prices. Offer me something reasonable and I'll probably accept.
More or less this is what I was asking. But to dive deeper, if 20 pgems = Ist, how many perfect rubies = Ist? Or how many Perfect Amethyst = Ist? Or does it matter, just 20 pgems = Ist?
I understand Ladder throws this out the window, and even early ladder vs late ladder prices fluctuate A LOT, but I would think non-ladder would be pretty stable. ROTW has been out for a few months now, so that excitement die down as items become more available on the market.
It definitely does matterjrlafrance wrote: 1 hour agoMore or less this is what I was asking. But to dive deeper, if 20 pgems = Ist, how many perfect rubies = Ist? Or how many Perfect Amethyst = Ist? Or does it matter, just 20 pgems = Ist?
This is just what i've personally observed! But just wanted to add - Ist looks to be closer to 35 Perfect Gems lately on scnl from what i've seen
Perfect Amethyst seems to be around 15:1, Perfect Ruby ~25:1, although they are much less liquid than Perfect Amethyst
Perfect Amethyst 1:2.5 ratio to Perfect Gems seems to stay pretty stable
Again just my 2 cents ^^
Where are you finding these deal ratios? In game? On this site at least Perfect Gems are still mainly 20:1 and Perfect Amethyst are still about 8:1.kerph wrote: 39 minutes agoIt definitely does matterjrlafrance wrote: 1 hour agoMore or less this is what I was asking.

Mainly from traderie and my own sales here (don't buy much on non-ladder) but i can't speak as much on this site specifically since things move slower and there's fewer currency-to-currency trades overall imeKnappogue wrote: 23 minutes agoWhere are you finding these deal ratios?
