So... "credits for sale" has the exact same output as "credits all offers".

Now lets compute the average sale price:

avg = (60*4900 + 28*4999 + 223*5000 + 5*5400 + 36*5500 + 25*6000 + 10*6400 + 2*45000 + 1*65000)/(60 + 28 + 223 + 5 + 36 + 25 + 10 + 2 + 1) = 2142972/390 = 5494 (approx.)

The average sale price is therefore 5494 and not 4733. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

It's the average price of what has already been sold, I think.
Soll2006-10-16 21:36:20
Right.

No, the last X credit purchases. Not sure what the exact number is, however.

Yeah, whenever I buy credits to sell on the market I always sell anywhere from 3000-3750 each. Those who sell like that can end up skewing the averages. (Because at those prices they go quick!)

I think I made my last purchase for the anniversary.

Its the average price of the last 100 credits sold or something like that.

If someone sells 500 credits at 2K, the average becomes 2K

That's just because CREDITS FOR SALE only shows the first X cheapest credit sales. CREDITS ALL OFFERS will only show differently if there are more than X packs of credits for sale. If there are equal to or less than X credit offers, then it will all show up in both of them.

Hope that was coherent.

You should really whisper to me that you are about to do that when you do.... unsure.gif Then I can prepare to buy them before the evil credit monster swallows them whole.... -peer Richter- wub.gif
