But that doesn't make sense. I'll give you an example. Railgun has 4 higher than average price of what the community makes of it (about 10K each). This made the estimated price go up to 7,204. The community says its 4K-6K. Estimated price goes off of actually buying items, so no reasonable person would buy a railgun for 15K. But hell, anything can happen because someone actually bought a prim glock for 25K, so whose to stop someone from buying a railgun that they see on market when no one is publically saying that they're selling a railgun. That bumps up the estimated price meaning someone would get a trade/drop ban.

Also, it's coming to the point where prims aren't worth 1-2K anymore on market at least. They're in high demand for keying and I've seen multiple simple ones (no traits) sell for over 3K. It's effectively raising their estimated price.

I don't see many people using actual estimated price when many rely on what the recently sold price is.

I think he meant a scenario where somebody's selling a railgun on the market for 20k and they give another player the 20k to buy it off the market, overall raising the estimated value of it.
