Look Back Before You Pay Up

See how an R6 item’s reference value has moved over time before you buy or sell. A single price means very little — the line behind it means a lot more.

READING A PRICE

Price History Chart

A real line chart of the dated prices you record, with the change, the range and how volatile the series is.

Recorded points

No points yet. Record a dated price to draw the chart.

    Formula

    change     = latest − first
change %   = change ÷ first × 100
range      = highest − lowest
volatility = range ÷ average × 100

    Example: four points running 8,000 / 8,600 / 8,300 / 9,100 is +1,100 (+13.8%), a range of 1,100 and volatility of about 13%.

    Two readings is a difference, not a trend. Cosmetic markets are noisy, and a pattern needs far more points than most people give it.

    //- 01 - HOW IT WORKS

    HOW IT WORKS

    Thirty seconds of history can save you from the most common buying mistake on any marketplace: paying a peak price for a patient item.
    1. Pick an item. Choose the cosmetic you care about — the skin, charm or uniform you’re thinking of buying or selling.
    2. Read the history. Past reference values are laid out over time, so you can see the direction at a glance: climbing, sliding, or flat.
    3. Judge today’s number. Set the latest figure against the trend and the typical range before you decide whether it’s fair, steep, or a bargain.

    //- 02 - HOW TO READ YOUR RESULT

    HOW TO READ YOUR RESULT

    • Direction beats precision. Whether a value is drifting up or down matters more than any single point — don’t obsess over one day’s figure.
    • Spikes usually have a cause. Values jump around seasons, events and supply changes, then often settle. Buying at the top of a spike is how budgets die.
    • Compare with the typical range. Example: an item that usually sits near 2,000 Credits but currently shows 3,500 is asking a premium — decide with that context, whatever you choose.
    • History explains; it doesn’t predict. Past movement is background for a decision, never a guarantee about what happens next.

    //- 03 - READING THE SHAPE OF A LINE

    READING THE SHAPE OF A LINE

    Forget the numbers for a moment and look at the silhouette. A flat line, wobbling gently around one level for a long stretch, describes a settled item: supply and interest in balance, and a current price near that level is simply the going rate — unexciting and fair. A steady climb over weeks suggests growing interest or shrinking supply; as a buyer you are paying more than yesterday’s buyers did, and as a seller the wind is behind you, though neither says anything about next week. A slow slide is the mirror image: an item the market is cooling on, where patience is usually rewarded if you are buying and punished if you are holding out for old prices. The fourth shape is the spike — a sharp jump and, often, a partial fall back afterwards. Spikes tend to gather around moments: a season change, an event, a sudden scarcity. The settle point after a spike matters more than the peak, because it is the market’s second, calmer opinion. Reading shapes instead of points turns one confusing figure into a short story about the item — and short stories make for calmer decisions.

    //- 04 - A WORKED EXAMPLE

    A WORKED EXAMPLE

    Example — the figures here are illustrative. An item’s history shows it sitting near 2,000 Credits for a long stretch, jumping to about 3,500 around an event, then settling near 2,300 in the weeks that followed. You meet it today priced at 3,400, close to the old peak. As a buyer, the history gives you three facts the single price hides: the item’s normal home is far below today’s figure; the peak has happened before and did not hold; and the settle point hints at where it may drift if the current excitement fades. None of that forbids the purchase — if you want it now, now has a price — but you would be paying a spike price knowingly, which is a different decision from paying it innocently. As a seller holding the same item, the identical history reads as encouragement with a warning attached: today’s level is historically generous, and the settle point says generous levels for this item have not lasted. Same line, two honest readings. That is all history ever offers — not instructions, but the context that stops a single number from bullying you.

    //- 05 - COMMON MISTAKES

    COMMON MISTAKES

    • Treating one point as “the price”. A single day’s figure is a sample, not a verdict. Judge it against the trend and the typical range, or you are just reading noise with confidence.
    • Reading history as a forecast. The line records where values have been. It does not know about the next season, the next event or the next change in supply — and neither does anyone presenting it to you.
    • Comparing lines across items. Two items’ histories are two different markets. A shape that means “settled” for a common charm says nothing about a scarce skin.
    • Skipping the check on a small purchase. Peaks catch small budgets too. Thirty seconds of history costs nothing; overpaying at a spike costs the difference, every time.

    GOOD TO KNOW

    This history is assembled from general reference data. Ubisoft publishes no public price stream for the Marketplace, so nothing here is a live quote or an official record — it’s context to help you judge a price, and if it ever disagrees with the figure in the official Marketplace itself, the official figure wins. The Marketplace is also currently listed by Ubisoft as temporarily closed, which makes this page a research tool for planning, rather than a pre-trade check you run today.

    Straight answers

    Reading Price History

    No. It’s a record of reference values over time. The only price that counts is the one in the Marketplace at the moment a trade actually fills.

    Usually a moment, not a new normal. Values jump around seasons, events and supply changes, then often settle — and the settle point after a spike matters more than the peak, because it is the market’s second, calmer opinion. Buying at the top of a spike is how budgets die.

    No. History explains; it does not predict. The line records where values have been and knows nothing about the next season, the next event or the next change in supply — treat it as background for a decision, never as a guarantee about what happens next.

    Enough to see the item’s typical range, not just its latest point. A long, settled stretch tells you where the item normally lives, and it is that range — not one day’s figure — that today’s price should be judged against.

    Coverage depends on the reference data available for that item. A short history isn’t an error — some items simply have less recorded background than others.

    Using History to Decide

    Compare the latest figure with the item’s typical range before you set your price: a level that has held for months is a calmer foundation than a recent spike. Remember, too, that the 10% seller fee comes out of whatever you sell for, so judge your expected proceeds after the fee, not before it.

    No — the history tracks the item’s value, and the fee sits on top of that as a separate step. When a sale completes, the seller receives the sale price minus the 10% transaction fee; the buyer pays the matched price with no fee added.

    They’re companion views of the same idea — this page is the quick tool, the Data page presents it as a chart feature. Both are reference material, not live data.

    You can look at both, but do not read them as the same story. Two items’ histories are two different markets — a shape that means “settled” for a common charm says nothing about a scarce skin, and each line only describes its own item.

    No. It is assembled from general reference data, because Ubisoft publishes no public price stream for the Marketplace — nothing here is a live quote or an official record. Ubisoft also currently lists the Marketplace as temporarily closed, which makes this a research tool for planning rather than a pre-trade check.
