Pricing is always "Whatever someone is willing to pay"
It's never the same, so having a page that defines a price is admittedly a little silly.
However, it can be useful to get a general idea of how much things are worth in relation to each other. It is true that such pages can be easily manipulated by those looking to exploit the page for profit, but this is a community page and it can be moderated by the knowledgeable members of that particular section of this community. It's not likely to ever be truly accurate, but it does provide another option for people looking for pricing, aside from visiting worlds like HONORS.
