How values work

What the numbers on Korimons mean and how the value team decides them.

Value is not RAP

RAP (recent average price) is a market number: the running average of recent sales on Rokori. It can be pushed up or down by a few unusual sales.

Value is the Korimons value team's estimate of what an item trades for between players. It is set by people after reviewing sales, trade proofs, demand and rarity, and it only changes when the team publishes a change with a reason. Items start as Not Assigned until the team values them.

Values are opinions, not prices Rokori guarantees and not financial advice. Always check an item on Rokori before trading or buying.

How a value changes

  1. A value team member opens a proposal with the new value, demand, trend or status and the evidence behind it.
  2. Other members vote and comment. A proposal needs at least 2 approving votes and 60% approval, and someone other than the proposer must approve it.
  3. Big changes (a move of 25% or more) need 2 approvers.
  4. When approved, the change is published on the item and in the public value change log with its reason.
  5. Mistakes are corrected by publishing a new change that reverts the old one. History is never edited or deleted.

Valuation methods

RAP-based
Value follows the Recent Average Price because sales are frequent, organic and not projected.
Trade-proof-based
Value is derived from reviewed, verified trades showing what traders actually accept for the item.
Sales-based
Value is derived from recorded marketplace sales, excluding outliers and suspected manipulation.
Value-team assessment
Value set by value-team judgment (rarity, demand, comparable items) where market data is thin.

Statuses

  • Projected

    RAP has been pushed away from real trading value by manipulated or unusual sales. Do not trust its RAP; trade on value instead.

  • Hyped

    Currently experiencing hype. Price and demand may be temporarily elevated and can fall back quickly.

  • Rare

    Very few copies exist or circulate. Rares are valued by the value team rather than by RAP.

  • Hoarded

    Value-team warning that a large share of copies is held by one or a few owners. This is an editorial flag; the measured hoarded percentage is shown separately.

  • Unobtainable

    No copies can currently be obtained through the marketplace or ordinary trading.
