priceCheck

What one item is currently going for.

Samples the market's cheapest and dearest pages for the item and records the reading, so `priceHistory` can show it moving. Only listings whose rarity matches exactly are counted — the game's own filter is loose, and without that guard a gem quality would contaminate the reading. Per-unit figures are the ones to price a stack with: a 6-stack at 660g and a single at 150g are 110/ea against 150/ea.
