    yes.. in configuration .. filters basic .. you can add them to the ignore list .. also you can filter them by use of the outlier feature

    Auc-Filter-Basic & Auc-Filter-Outlier respectively

    Unfortunately a lot of the filtering has to rely on you having seen the item before. If the very first time you see something it's at a ridiculous price then it's very hard for Auctioneer to know it's not correct.
    To some degree you always have to use your brain. The filters and things can help reduce the problems, but there will always be something coming up that you have to look at and decide on yourself using your common sense.

    I just noticed this on my server this morning. It looks like the default settings would have picked most of these guys up but I think a few slipped through. Some of these players were listing items at 40x the normal market and I found that I went from making 200g-300g per scan to around 100. I went ahead and changed my settings to be more aggressive in the filtering and added the players I found doing this to my ignore list.

    Thank you for creating such a full featured mod. I don't know what I would do without it.

    Definitely enable the outlier filter as well. stddev can deal with outliers to some extent, but the stats modules based on raw averages don't handle them very well. A single bad price can push the average up enormously.

    One thing missing from the stats modules in general is tracking by seller. An item may have been seen dozens of times, but if it's one seller trying repeatedly to get rid of the same item, the price is unreliable despite the number of samples. Maybe if we included seller info up to a certain threshold (5 different sellers, say) and then switched to aggregates that would help.

    question about the outlier pricing model. i see that it set to market by default and i use stddev for my pricing model in appraiser and for enchantrix, should i change this to stddev as well so all my evaluators and modules use the same pricing model?

    a button In the bargain dialog to add a player to the ignore player list would. Be excellent.

    Also, does adding them to that list sanatzie my db? It should.

    The ignore price button. And ignore mod button are offset and need
    both cogent tips and a better layout.

    i think there is a JIRA for your first suggestion already, please feel free to vote for it (or add one if there isn't), though that dialog is very busy already, i have no idea where we would put it.

    there isn't currently any way to "sanitize" your db after the fact, since the data points collected by the stats modules are not associated with seller information any more, this info is just kept in the scan snapshot for the appraiser screen and scanning dup checking.

    adding popup help for those buttons is a good idea, please add a JIRA for this.
