Recently, I've found an interesting site for item trading. As you know, there has been several major intermediaries for RMT in Korea. If you had experienced transactions, you might have been curious about price differentials among these mediators.

As things done in internet age, the comparison among prices of virtual items would be probable service for customers. So to speak, It's price watching service for item trading. You might say, "is it too early for RMT?" No.

Last month, Itemprice launched for this kind of service. They provide information about exchange rate between in-game currency and real world money(Korean Won) by individual server level of each game. They are also announcing trend of transactions on a daily basis.

Data accumulated by now are not rich enough to do some serious analysis, but they might be the world-first reliable daily numbers on the prices of virtual in-game currency.
