Market Records

The biggest numbers we have recorded across the vendor sites we crawl. Some describe stock listed today; the seller counts and price records are all-time. Each one names an animal and links to its price history.

How these are worked out.

Every figure comes from asks we have actually observed on vendor sites, never from sales — we cannot see what anything sold for. A rarity record BETA needs a real track record behind it: the tier is how many sellers have ever carried a species, so a species seen once at one seller sits at the top of the ladder on thin evidence, and that record only considers animals with substantial price history. Every shop we track is included.
