Could be implemented as either a premium feature or not.

The premium feature version:
Gives access to graphs of the mean price up to 1 month down to maybe an hour.

The non premium:
Just displays the mean of the item during the 72 hour period

Ways I thought I could be exploited:
Is artificially listing for low price and buying up on alt. This could be fixed by having it calculate the mean on how long it was spent at the lowest price

Pros:
New players can list the item for mean maybe as a quick list feature that auto sets it at mean?
Reduces effectiveness of buying out market

Cons:
Makes it harder to manipulate market

Any thoughts?

I think that it's mostly a great feature and it will arm newer players with the knowledge on how to price their goods more accurately so I don't get to buy those juicy tomato seeds for 600 each

I think it would be useful to see how volatile the item itself is as well.

I don't think it will remove market manipulation just lessen it (there will still be alot, people just wont notice it as much).

More usable data the better.

I really would also love to see quantities sold/bought as well. (I'm a nerd for numbers)
