the spread is the difference between buy and sell price.
They are calculated using ({sell price}-{buy price})*{sales per week}/{hours per week}
that calculation is used by most other hypixel skyblock bazaar website/mods and doesn't need data storing.
It displays you the potential profit under perfect conditions. If you are impatient it's probably lower, but it can also be higher if you are lucky.
We enhanced this by marking items that are probably manipulated to protect you from losing coins.
Using our hypixel skyblock bazaar data archive we know what an item usually sells for. If it suddenly spikes its usually manipulated. Sometimes its also because of a game update. So these items are still displayed for you to make a decission on if you want to risk you coins for potentially more reward.
The manipulation detection and other features depend on our data archive. To finance the archive storage, the top 3 flips are only available with starter premium. You either buy any premium tier or watched an ad to get starter premium for free
