See above.
On the website, the numbers for the buy price of items and the sell price are reversed.
See example below:

As seen with the above imgur links, the current statistics on the website is correct, but their positions are swapped.

Text-based comparison below
item: Frail 6

Website:
Buy price: 7.2 coins
Sell price: 639.1 coins

In-game
Buy price: 639.1 coins
Sell price: 7.2 coins
I'm relatively new to posting issues, so please forgive me if anything seems wrong about this post.
Thanks!

Hi, I've just fired up Minecraft to check this for the first time in about two years, and it does seem you're correct! Only took me 5 minutes to remember where the Bazaar trader is in Skyblock too :)

I will get that fixed ASAP... I wonder how long this problem has been around for without anyone noticing!

Having thought about it a bit more, I actually think the current behaviour is correct. If I understand correctly, Bazaar Flipping involves putting in a buy order priced at or above the current highest buy order (which is what appears in your screenshot as the sell instantly price) then putting in a sell offer priced at or below the current lowest sell offer (which is what appears in your screenshot as the buy price). As a Bazaar Flipper, the people using "buy instantly" and "sell instantly" are your "customers"; so the prices are the other way around.

For example, flipping carrots, the equivalent to your screenshot is this:

But to make a profit off the people who buy and sell instantly, I want to put in a buy order at 1.8 or 1.9 so I become top of the list for people looking to sell instantly:

Then I want to put in a sell offer at 2.7 or 2.6 so I'm top of the list for people looking to buy instantly:

Assuming all goes well, this then results in a profit to me - as shown in the calculator.

Hopefully that makes sense - it fries my brain thinking about it :)

Ohhh, ok! I think I understand. Didn't realize the menus were set-up that way. Thanks for checking, though!
And thanks for making such a great site!
