gaia doesn't have a whole lot of things right, but i always liked this feature.
when you go to sell an item on gaia, they provide information that's very helpful for the seller! it shows you what it's worth in stores if such a thing is available, the current lowest platinum price the item is being sold at on the marketplace, and the average market price. example:

--------------
i realize this is more complicated on FR because of the separate currencies and auction houses, but i just think implementing something similar for people selling [b]items*[/b] would be really nice. it would especially make the relisting process much easier.
(*dragons are just too varied and that's ok. figuring out what to price your dragons at is part of the game imo. but skins? eggs? i think it would be helpful)
i made a mockup of what this might look like, it is very bad because i am not a graphic designer but here it is:
[img]https://i.ibb.co/djgP2jL/ahhhhhh.png[/img]
the numbers under "lowest" would change depending on whether you were selling in your flight-specific auction house or in the general. larger numbers could get the ol' scientific notation treatment, so as not to take up too much room? and if the item is never available in the marketplace, it would say N/A; same if there is currently not a listing of that item for gems/treasure, perhaps?
this a decent idea? a bad one? maybe not bad, but a nightmare to implement? :")

Absolutely support! No idea if it's feasible to implement, but if it is, PLEASE.
It is such a pain going through my entire hoard piece by piece and separately searching for the item in question on the AH to make sure I'm not mispricing.

As someone who wants to see at least the first page of lowest prices, I'd like it if one could make a search on the buy side with one click.

yes, i like that too! just anything where i don't have to have multiple tabs/windows open and have to click through all the categories and figure out what's worth what.

I like your mockup! If it's possible to add as a feature I would love it... surely would use the auction house more. Just a nice quality of life feature that everyone has access to. I'd especially love if this was persistent on the "relist" page as well

This would make selling on the Auction House more palatable, so I support. With the current system I have to check the Buy page first and one of the problems with the current system is that if someone has me blocked or vice versa (and I block pretty liberally, because FR does not have tiered blocking which is a different problem), I can't see their listings and therefore what I think is LAH isn't necessarily the lowest price, that person could still be offering the cheaper price. I've had instances where I've relisted something at LAH repeatedly and it didn't move, and it wasn't a huge-ticket expensive item or random crap nobody but someone who hoards it would want, so I'm pretty sure I've experienced this, and this is just one of the annoyances about the current AH system. With the proposed suggestion I would always know what lowest AH price is when I go to sell, regardless of whether the seller and I are blocking each other or not.

Support! Sounds super-useful when listing lots of items

Support! Having to check each items LAH is the only reason I can't be bothered to list all my spare apparel

Big ol support. It's a hassle to have multiple tabs open just to sell 1 item.
