You find three prices for one fruit. Which is right? First ask whether they describe the same item at the same time. A confident-looking number can still be an old estimate.
Match the item before the number
Check spelling, mutation, skin and physical or permanent version. Two entries with similar names may describe different tradeable products. Combining them can produce a precise-looking average with no meaning.
Read the timestamp
Compare retrieval and update dates. A page loaded today may still contain an older quote. A new game update can change expectations faster than a list is reviewed. Avoid presenting an older number as a confirmed live sale.
Ask how the estimate was made
A completed-trade sample, a seller’s asking price and an editorial estimate are different evidence. A copied list is not an independent second source. Look for source notes rather than counting how many websites repeat a number.
Use a range when uncertainty is large
Illustrative example: comparable estimates of 90, 100 and 110 average to 100, but the range remains 90–110. If another entry is 500, investigate its version and date before including it. These are teaching numbers, not current fruit values.
What to do before accepting
Open the item’s source details, read any provisional label and consider the full offer. If the evidence is weak, wait or negotiate with that uncertainty in mind. A calculator should help you ask better questions, not promise a buyer.
Common questions
Should I always average every website?
No. Only comparable, independent quotes belong in the same calculation.
Does disagreement prove one site is dishonest?
No. Dates, versions and methods may differ. Check the evidence before drawing that conclusion.
