Wondering if anyone knows how Spidy calculates demand versus supply.  I notice buy orders for thousands in amounts so low they'll never be filled.  If those are calculated as part of the demand there is no way it's accurate.

Same as the Trade Post's main page; it's all of the demand orders vs all of the supply orders. Or it least that's how it used to be, the graphs stopped displaying on my browser a week ago.

Okay thanks, I'll definitely be wary of those numbers, then.

though there is an exaggeration of data because of the fake bidding, most high volume goods will be somewhat accurate in their demand and supply listings since they're high traffic, so people actually want them and will likely have less % of fake bids

some criteria I choose when looking for reliable data is if the good has high volume, is the good useful in game to some extent, and if the buy and sell volume listings are relatively close in number
