Networth

Can tell you're obviously not if you think a 7b loss overnight from 35b NW is due to stock market fluctuations :P

I doubt it'd be a bug, might be a collectible changing price?

I really don't know without seeing the specific breakdown of your networth on the 22nd / 23rd and comparing them.

So it could be a few things...

- Did you give away any collectibles or expensive items? Or are you missing any?
- Is there any collectible (or set of the same item) you'd estimate to be worth 7.5b? They might have suddenly changed market value.

It looks like there's been no movement in your Display case for a month, so it has to be one or two items suddenly changing in market value for some reason. Maybe we can figure out which ones they are.

Shot in the dark... but did the china tea set have a previous networth value of 10b due to its bazaar listing in your bazaar at 10b Ched? And is now at the default of 2.5b? I don't know who else has a set to be able to reliably compare it to sadly!

I've spent a couple of hours on this and can't figure it out. The system should work fine, and prices shouldn't be able to change suddenly like that.

We take the median value of the daily average price over a year (with some other bits and bobs thrown in to prevent market manipulation increasing networth). I can't find anything wrong.

I expect, somehow, one of the semi-rareish items in your display case somehow had a median value of 7.5b, and it corrected itself. If you look at all the items in your display case, you'd probably agree that all of it together was worth around $16b (instead of $23b).

The item with the highest median price currently is the Hazmat Suit $1,300,000,000. Other collectibles and rare items are given static pretty-accurate values if an accurate median price is unavailable, but none of them go over $5b except... Dirty bomb, Gold AK, Pink Mac 10, Handbag, Sports Sneakers, Platinum PDA and Gold Laptop (you have none of these).

The way the median price changes should be very smooth, day by day, instead of suddenly. I've looked at all of the items in your display case (and the daily average prices in the last year), and none of them should have had any reason to do this, so I really have no idea.

I guess I'll just have to rebuild a simplified but more reliable 'median value grabber' and hope that doesn't cause issues in the future.

After more tests, I cannot break the current 'median checker'. It seems flawless.

I guess a median price was broken (which gave you an inflated networth) and it corrected itself bringing you down to the correct display case valuation. Interested to know if any other users had this happen to them - we could cross-reference display cases to see if any of the rareish items are the same and narrow it down.

I just checked, and that'd do it! Thanks!

The system requires at least 5 average daily prices recorded throughout the past year, or else it defaults to a static value based on its circulation amount. In this case, the default value is only $100,000,000 for a circulation of 351.

There were 5 average daily prices recorded throughout the past year, that is until one dropped off (24th Jan 2015). This meant it no longer met the requirements to use the median value ($1.9b) and defaulted to the static value.

I'm not entirely sure how this could be resolved. I suppose we could use 'average daily prices' in all history (instead of just the past year) although I expect this would most likely cause inaccuracies (overvaluing or undervaluing items based on history many years ago).

Maybe I could make it default to 'full history' search if 'last year' search does not have at least 5 rows. Before overriding to the static value. Or maybe this is a rare scenario and not a huge deal?
