    It's actually not "alot" of data to send, 3bytes of data can store a value of over 16million. So assuming only price that would mean 30 records would equal 90bytes, Considering that 1Mb is over one million bytes. 90bytes is not that much data. There are other things to consider but I don't think adding 30 records of sales history would be difficult or affect system performance.

    Apologies, I'm misunderstood. I meant that what we have now is 30 and that can be easily manipulated; I was calling for a complete history on re-query (best displayed as in graph-form) so that honest buyers and sellers could see when prices had been artificially inflated. That amount of data being sent out simultaneously from one server to many players would have an impact server-side. I can think of workarounds involving offline data-compilation, but that's getting a bit too deep into the technical side of the issue.
