How much is a Diablo 3 account worth?

How much does a Diablo 3 account sell for?

The median listing goes for $14.42, and that is the honest answer for a typical account — half of everything on the shelf sits below it. The full range runs from $4.36 to $126.49, but the ceiling belongs to accounts with items that cannot be obtained any more, not to a good ordinary one. Price under the median and it moves quickly; price above the upper quartile and it waits.

What actually moves the price

Two accounts with the same headline number can differ twofold. What decides it: whether the original email is included (an account someone else can recover is worth less), how the progress was made — by hand or by bots — and whether the rare items on it can still be obtained in the game today.

If you are selling rather than buying, the same table is your price guide: list below the median and it sells within a day; above the upper quartile it sits until the market moves.

How this is measured

Every number here comes from 38 Diablo 3 listings that are live and in stock right now. These are asking prices in the listing currency, not closing prices — the two differ, and mixing them would flatter the figures. Median and quartiles are computed with percentile_cont over the whole set; a server or rank slice appears only once it has at least five listings, because a median of three numbers is an anecdote. Sold and delisted listings never enter the calculation.
