Market Context

What the market summary panel shows and where the numbers come from.

Overview

Below every results grid on igitems is a market summary panel. It covers the category as a whole, not any one listing. Three layers: market statistics for raw activity, analytics for derived value signals, and visualization for trends over time.
01

Market Statistics

Market Statistics show category vitals at a glance. The platform regenerates the chips from a weekly snapshot, so values reflect the latest run rather than real-time activity. Each chip pairs a current value with a trend arrow over the period noted on the card.

02

Analytics

Analytics turn raw stats into deeper signals: per-listing value scores and a generated prose summary of how the period moved. Each appears only when the category has the inputs needed.

A

Per-listing values

A second row of cards shows up for categories with a public valuation calculator. Each calculator combines expert knowledge and research with market data from our sales, updated regularly as the marketplace shifts. The cards turn that calculator's output into per-listing value signals.

Nominal Value

The category's public calculator applied to each listing, averaged across the period.

Deal Quality

Nominal Value divided by asking price. Higher means listings are priced low for what they offer.

Categories without a public calculator don't show these. Nothing is estimated or interpolated.

AI Summary

When available, a short prose summary sits alongside the cards. It's generated from the same period's data and rewritten weekly, with guidance from igitems analysts to keep it accurate. The summary points at what moved most in the last period and what that might mean for someone watching the category. It's informational only. It never recommends an individual listing.

03

Visualization

Two charts visualize the data over time.

Offers by Price Range

A histogram showing how active listings distribute across price buckets. Reveals where inventory concentrates and how wide the price spread is.

Illustrative data. Bar heights are bucket counts. The live chart on /brainrot-brainrots adapts its bucket boundaries to the category's actual price range.

90-Day Price & Value History

A line chart with up to four series drawn from earlier sections: Listing Prices and Sold Prices from Market Statistics, plus Nominal Value and Deal Quality from Analytics. Every series is plotted as percent change versus the period's mean, so the curves are comparable even though the underlying units differ. A series hides itself if there isn't enough data or variance to be informative.

ExampleModeled after /brainrot-brainrots
14-week trailing average per week, as percent change vs the current period's average. The trajectory starts from the level the trailing average held at the start of the current period.

Illustrative chart with one series. The live chart on /brainrot-brainrots supports up to four series with toggles between them.

A dashed reference line marks where the trailing average started the current period, so the post-period direction is easier to read.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A

Come viene calcolato il Deal Quality per gli annunci di igitems?

Il Deal Quality calcola il valore equo di un annuncio (dal calcolatore della categoria) diviso per il prezzo richiesto, poi ponderato per la valutazione della community e il livello del venditore. Un punteggio più alto significa più valore per dollaro rispetto agli altri annunci nella categoria.

B

Perché questa categoria non mostra un grafico Nominal Value o Deal Quality?

Questi grafici compaiono solo nelle categorie con punteggio di valore equo collegato tramite un calcolatore specifico della categoria. Le categorie senza un calcolatore collegato mostrano comunque chip di mercato e cronologia dei prezzi, ma le metriche basate sul valore non vengono calcolate per loro.

C

Con quale frequenza igitems aggiorna i dati di mercato?

Gli snapshot di mercato vengono rigenerati con cadenza settimanale tramite un job pianificato. I chip e le serie di grafici su una pagina di categoria riflettono lo snapshot più recente per quella categoria.
