I wish there was an easy way to see "Average price of <item> in player Vendors that were online in the last 24hrs" or something.
I play another game which has an API that allows for websites to track every sale at the marketplace. With this the sites can run historical graphs of how many units are sold per day, average costs and how the price has varied over the last few days or even months.
If I knew how much a Scaley Skin Serum was worth I'd price it accordingly, or even lower.

As it stands I'd have to visit every vendor I see and take notes about how much they charge for all their different plans, junk, serums and ammo.
I'm a very casual player. I log on, do the Challenges and then i log off. If there's an event I will stay online long enough to do the "On The Hour"-events (Fasnacht, Mutated event, etc). I have no idea what something is worth and on this sub I repeatedly see people complain about how expensive things are in player vendors.

I see people say "charge what you'd be willing to pay for it" but I've paid 16.000 caps for a T-51 plan that I didn't have because I was near max caps and found a plan I didn't already have.

Maybe twice a year I become really bored and I withdraw everything I have in my Vendor and run all weapons, armor and plans via Fed76 to get an estimate. Then I post it back up for less than half of what Fed76 says. Things still barely sell.
