By the way, since you like numbers, would you mind checking the bottom of the first post (the Marketplace Data part) of this thread and tell me my calculations aren't way off.
If they're not, I suspect gaia has a serious issue regarding the ABP values of the marketplace.

Your figures look fine to me. I've suspected for a long time that Gaia's method of calculating ABP takes some kind of 'recent purchases' into account, and doesn't look at long-term trends. Which is why when I price things to sell, unless I'm in a hurry & want them gone, I tend to look at the graphs, which are far more indicative of the average price than the ABP is (except for small-volume sales like the Quests).
I got a more reasonable value for the first Angelic Sale by using ABP (53,051,400)*2-90,000,000. This spat out a figure of ~16,000,000.
Not sure what to do with Risen, as we don't have a cost value on either MP sale, but I do think that the first Risen was the first quest to be found and got sold for a REALLY low price.
Either way, I have no idea what kind of algorithm Gaia is using to get these figures, but it's sure not the one that I'd be using.
Accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative...
Well, I know for a fact that the previous ABP (and only other sale) for the Angelic Quest was 1.000.000, I saw it get sold when vending (missed it by a second or two), I just don't have any screenshots to prove it. In my book this should yield a new average of 45.500.000 (91.000.000/2). The number you got seems to be the error I encountered.
Also the latest MP sale on Risen was 35m, I'm fairly certain of this.
Anyway, whatever they do to mess up the numbers it's not something we can see I guess. Thanks for your input though.
