How to read Albion Online market prices
Updated 10 November 2026
Albion Tools uses dated community observations from the Albion Online Data Project, rather than a direct live connection to the game market.
The two prices
- sell_price_min: the lowest observed sell order, used when buying immediately.
- buy_price_max: the highest observed buy order, used when selling immediately.
The spread between them matters. A sell order may take time to fill or may not fill at all.
Market taxes
| Operation | Premium | Without Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Instant sale | 4% | 8% |
| Sell order, including setup | 6.5% | 10.5% |
Before buying
- Check each observation’s date and the current in-game price.
- Check the number of units available at that price.
- Choose instant sale or a sell order and apply its costs.
- Account for carrying capacity, travel time and risk.
Each city has its own market. More recent observations do not guarantee execution or sufficient stock. Missing prices are not zero prices.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the website price differ from the game?
The observation may be minutes or hours old, and prices or available quantities can change.
Are prices refreshed every time I read a saved route?
No. Reading a saved route preserves its original prices. A new route consults the latest observations available through the provider and its cache.
