How values are set
A value list is only useful if you can trust it. Here's exactly where our numbers come from — and what we do when the evidence isn't there.
Where the numbers come from
Every value is compiled from real trading activity, never from gut feeling:
- Open listings — asking prices on community trading platforms and marketplaces, filtered for outliers and obvious joke listings.
- Completed trades — trades actually accepted in community trading servers, which matter more than what people ask for.
- Cross-checks — we compare against other established community value lists. Where lists disagree wildly, we flag the value as unstable rather than picking a side.
The no-guessing rule
If we can't verify enough evidence for an item or a variant, its value shows “Insufficient data”. We think a missing number is more honest than an invented one — a wrong value on a value list is exactly how people get scammed.
Variants
Big, Mega and Rainbow versions of an item are valued separately, from their own trade evidence. We don't apply a fixed multiplier to the Normal value, because real markets don't work that way — some variants are hyped, some aren't.
Trends and updates
Each item carries a demand trend — Rising, Steady or Falling — based on how its trade activity moved since the last review. Every item starts at Steady when it first enters the list; the trend only moves once later reviews show real movement. Values are re-checked continuously and every change is logged in the update log with a reason. Each item page shows its own “last updated” date and source note.
What values mean here
Values are relative trading units, not an official currency: an item worth 10,000 should trade evenly against another item worth 10,000. Use them to compare offers — the WFL calculator does the math for you, and calls a trade Fair when both sides land within 10% of each other.
Spotted a wrong value?
Values move fast and no list is perfect. If a number looks off, check its “last updated” date first — then tell us what you're seeing in trades. Real evidence changes the list; that's the whole point.
