Usage Notes

• This endpoint provides information about the highest buy orders (the maximum price buyers are willing to pay) for items across different marketplaces
• The offers field indicates the total number of buy orders available, not just those at the maximum price
• Price values are provided in cents (divide by 1000 to get dollar value)
• Use this data to identify the best marketplace to sell your items for maximum profit
• Compare with the Aggregated Min Prices endpoint to understand the full price range (buy and sell sides) across marketplaces
