Hey all! I've noticed lately that sometimes, when you hover over an item to see the info pop-up, the 'recent price' is wrong. Usually it shows 2-3k, but the actual user price is much higher (I've seen 30k-70k in most cases). This doesn't happen very often, but I've noticed it a few times while restocking. I thought it was just a visual glitch, so I didn't think much of it. However, today, I received an anonymous gift box containing Old Brown Dress Shoes and the message, "Item was autopriced to 2,000sP. Returning to you." (Thank you, anonymous!) As you can see, Old Brown Dress Shoes are all listed for 70,000sP, so I don't know why they would have been autopriced to 2,000. They did show user prices at 2,000 when I hovered over them, and then when I refreshed, it went back to 70,000.

i think this is usually a cache issue. if someone happens to price an item a certian way, it can register as the lowest user shop price and stay that way for a bit even after it gets bought. could be someone intentionally underpricing items, either to make quick sales or because they don't know how they should be pricing them. (probably not to deliberately tank the price, since undercutting just one copy of an item will only result in their underpriced item being snapped up before it has much of a chance to affect autopricing, as you note said items are long gone from the shop search by the time you check.)
