MARKET DATA
MBX Market Method
How Mini Bucket Exchange normalizes exact completed sales, asking prices and confidence when publishing mini bucket market data.
Exact-record pricing first.
MBX Market exists to answer a narrower question than a generic marketplace search: what have transactions for this exact mini bucket record shown?
- Completed sales are the preferred price evidence.
- Asking prices are not treated as completed-sale market value.
- Best Offer listings are excluded from exact price math unless the accepted price is known.
- Shipping should be identified separately when the source permits it.
- Median transaction price is preferred over a simple average when multiple exact comps exist.
- Every market value displays a confidence basis rather than presenting sparse evidence as certainty.

A strong sold-count signal or asking-price range can be useful research without becoming an exact MBX Market value.
