Tamriel Trade Centre. This can be gotten via Minion, but I also google things to get the most up to date info for selling and for buying

It's also a great tool to find listed items as well, rather than blindly hopping around the world.

ok do people still use master merchant to go with it tamerial trade centre or no

Tamriel Trade Centre is the superior one in my opinion. You can also go on their website, look for an item and see which guild store is selling it in the past x hours. I've found many items (mostly style pages) I've been looking for through that instead of going from vendor to vendor.

Both are being used, some use both at the same time.

ok, are there any other must have addons for eso in general just wondering

When was the last time Master Merchant was updated?

Last time I looked, it looked to be abandoned.

Master Merchant for selling. You can argue TTC for buying

If you're selling things by auction then you don't need to worry about getting the price exactly right, because it will go for whatever people offer to pay for it. You should probably set a starting price slightly below what you think it's worth to get the bidding going, but then just wait and see what happens.

If you mean selling stuff through guild stores then IMO Master Merchant is best for working out prices, because it uses data from actual sales whereas Tamriel Trade Center goes off items currently listed - which may be hugely overpriced and highly unlikely to ever sell. But I use TTC's website to find things to buy, and the addon to list my guild's stuff on there.

MM is limited to the guild(s) you are currently in. TCC uses a mean of all the global listings. If you compare price checks for both, you can easily see that the suggested list price for MM and TCC isn't very far off. A couple hundred/thousand gold either way still means both are effective.

They've both been running long enough that prices have mostly stabilized, and outliers disappear as the bulk of the listings fall within an acceptable range. You'll see extreme pricing when new content comes out, and supply is scarce. But, MM will suffer from that as well..

In short, they both work, and there is very little difference between the two as far as figuring out cost. TCC is superior when it comes to searching, but that is because it is more of a global tool.

IME, Master Merchant values do well for high-volume items, and tend to be very erratic for low-volume items in smaller, more out of the way trading guilds. This is inherent to the design of the data it uses. I don't use it specifically because that describes most of my own sales, but it really is rather dependent on what you're trying to sell and where.

I find Master Merchant more useful for high-volume items, especially the graph, which not just shows you the medium price, but how scattered the price range is, and whether there is an upwards or downwards trend. Searching TTC on the web, and sorting by price, will show you all the outliers first. You can probably sell for more and it can be really slow to work that out. It is the better tool for low-volume items, though. I don't use the TTC addon, so I don't know what that's like.

I actually use Arkadiusz Trade Tools, instead of Master Merchant, because it is coded to not hammer the CPU, but update itself gradually, so you don't notice the performance impact. Particularly important when you PvP. A disadvantage of Arkadiusz is that you can't click on the pixels in the graph, which makes it harder to price items accurately. It also has less integration with Awesome Guild Store, for example you can't easily search for underpriced items.

Awesome Guild Store is pretty indispensable for buying, but also for checking prices within your own guilds.
