How the Flip Finder Works

The Flip Finder scores every tradeable item in the selected game and surfaces the top opportunities ranked by a composite signal. For GW2 and FFXIV, the score reflects the live buy/sell spread adjusted for velocity and trend. For WoW Classic, it compares the current price to the 30-day historical average — a mean-reversion signal for one-sided auction house markets. Scores refresh after every price update (every 5 min for GW2, 30 min for FFXIV, ~65 min for WoW).

GW2 & FFXIV — Spread-Based

Scores the gap between buy and sell price as a percentage of the sell price, weighted by trading velocity and adjusted for trend. Wide spread + liquid market = high score.

WoW Classic — Temporal

No buy orders means no live spread. Score measures how far below the 30-day average the current price sits. High score = item is cheap relative to its history; buy and relist at the average.

Tips

  • Sort by Score, then set a Minimum Profit filter to remove micro-margin items
  • Click any item to open its price history chart before placing a buy order
  • Check volume bars on the chart — thin markets have wide spreads that rarely fill
