Need the full stats to give you an idea, but those are good stats to have on a ring
Thanks for the feedback. I will go back over the torches section this week.
Got the bulk rune values from a price check Discord:

Not everyone can spend the time to research multiple sources like d2jsp, Discord, etc - they just want a quick price and try to make a trade. For those players, I've made the disclaimer more prominent (re this feedback) but they are made aware that these prices are not real time values. I've been upfront about updating prices, I do them in batches (like torches or skillers) and then I'll tweak them if I find that prices have changed OR another user brings a price change to my attention. I really count on our members to let me know if something is off, and my very next step is to check that entry to look to see if it should be updated. Otherwise, I could honestly sit here for 12+ hours a day watching the market and changing values for each item. I wish I had that kind of time to make this the guide you envision, but it's just not possible to be done by a 1 man team.
I reject the assertion that "this guide will screw a lot of new players." Every day we have more and more price checks come through - we almost always get some positive feedback from these players. I know you aren't trying to knock the guide, but it is not a valid critique. Players use the guide for convenience exactly because they'd rather let someone else go to d2jsp, figure out the market and then figure out the fg exchange rate. Not to mention that they might accidentally be looking at old posts from 10 years ago with totally outdated prices. This is a casual trader's guide for players who want to make (or spend) a little currency and if they are interested in diving deeper then the method that you suggest is completely valid. I use d2jsp as a reference, I use Discord for research, and I use other platforms as well. I do all that, so that the casual player doesn't have to.
As always, if a player makes a PC post in this forum, I will get a fresh price if it's been a minute since prices have been updated. That way the new players can still use the guide for quick reference but if they want to double check their post is like a request for assistance - so they can get a volunteer price checker to give them a second opinion. I think this personal service that we offer is not readily available just anywhere and that's on top of a pretty decent price guide. The last thing we want is to 'screw' anyone: buyer / seller, newcomer / veteran - we just want to kill some demons, get some loot and hopefully get some better gear to kill more demons!
