How pricing works

Every listing is the seller's ask

When you list an item you say exactly which items you'll take in return — structured picks like “Trading for Jah + Sur”. There is no platform “value” stamped on your listing, ever. What you ask is what shows.

Item pages show real activity, not a verdict

Each item's page shows the live listings for it, per market. You decide what's fair by seeing what people are actually asking and trading — not a number we made up.

Markets are separate

Softcore/Hardcore, Ladder/Non-ladder, era, and platform are different markets that can't trade with each other — so listings and prices are always shown within the exact market you're browsing.

Community market — observed reality, not a verdict

Every item page now has a Community market section: how many times it has actually traded and what it went for, built only from completed, dual-confirmed trades. It's a record of what really happened, never a price TradingKeep invented.

• Only trades both sides confirmed count — you can't fake the data with listings or unfinished offers.
• Counts are split by market (softcore/hardcore, ladder, era, platform), and every trade shown is tagged to the exact market it happened in — those markets can't trade with each other.
• Thin data stays honest: with too few trades we simply show fewer, and never extrapolate a “value.”

As volume grows this is the foundation for optional community price ranges — same rule, public methodology, no made-up numbers.
