Why Your Account Calculator Says $169 When You Spent $644

Guides
What accounts are actually worth, where the prices come from, and which items move the number. Written from listing data, with the working shown.
Every figure here traces back to the same place the calculators do: comparable marketplace listings, named item anchors, and the published price table for the game in question. Not our own sales data, because we do not run a marketplace and never will. The guides cover the gap between what an account cost and what it is worth now, which items hold value once they leave the shop, and how to tell a real estimate from a number a site made up. Each one states what it could not see.
