PoE Trade Macro

For those of us who use the very popular "Path of Exiles Trade Macro" they have a new experimental feature in the latest release.

It's concerning something called "predicted item pricing". I guess it a type of learning algorithm that helps predict prices on whatever item.

A. I'm curious if anyone's using it, or still using the "old" style GUI.

B. If you are using it does it seem pretty accurate if you've cross-checked the results via poe.trade, etc.

Anyway, just thought i'd ask more experienced players to see what they think about this new addition to a pretty good utility macro.

Thanks!

The "predicted item pricing" is utter shit. Overpricing all the time. From, int he best case, 2 times to up to 20 times the actual price. I stopped using that.

I recently used it to help me clear out five fixed-price stash tabs worth of stuff that wasn't selling. I'd say it overestimated the price of roughly 80-90% of jewels and jewelry in particular.

By which I mean I had proof that it had overpriced it. Item age would show the item had been sitting there for 1-3 weeks, I've been online for hours nearly every day during that time, and I've never gotten a single request to buy the item, and here it is telling me it's worth three times my list price.

It seemed to pretty consistently tell me that all the jewels and jewelry I'd listed for 1 alch or 1 fusing was worth 1.08-1.68 chaos or so. A few items I'd listed for 1 chaos showed up as being worth 6-8 chaos.

I think it might be useful as a sanity check though, and for now I'm going to try to use it that way: if an item i'm about to vendor comes up as being worth 40 chaos I won't vendor it; and if it tells me a rare I'm about to list for 5-10 chaos is completely worthless I won't put it in my stash.

It was able to confirm that several rares I thought were worthless were indeed worthless. Like a crap rare Stygian Vise would come up as 0.08 - 0.12 chaos.

Overpricing? LOL what it's working well all the time.

I use poeprices.info is this the same algorithm?

Yeah been doing it with rares and they've been selling at the middle or max price.

Okay, good to know. I'll give it a try

I used it with a sample of 200 rare items then totaly gave up i got something like 10 or 15 accuracte prices at the end.

I appreciate the lot of effort put into this project but honestly there is a lot of work to make it worth to use.

Don't want to discourage tool author, hope he will actualy keep working on this interesting idea but i'm not sure it's a good idea to enable it by default the only result i saw for now is few friend that started PoE this league using it always asking me if the Ctrl + D price is right or not.

A bit missleading for them when i explain the predicted price is totaly innacurate ( and sometimes REALLY far from real price ). Asked both of them to just disable it for now and to pricecheck manualy.

Wonder what are the cause of such innacurate prices btw, not sure to understand the whole process behind :)

Anyone would clarify ? Curious.
