How to verify a below-floor alert yourself in 60 seconds
Open the item on Fragment, confirm it is a buy-now listing, compare its price with the floor of the same collection, subtract the 5% fee, and check that the collection actually trades. If any of those five checks fails, the alert is not a deal — it is a number that looked good before you looked at it.
The five checks, in order
| Check | Pass | Fail |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Listing type | A fixed price you can accept right now | An auction or a timed sale: a different mechanism, a different number |
| 2. Price against the floor | At most 90% of the floor it undercuts | 95% of the floor: the edge is thinner than the fee |
| 3. Fee | At least 5 GRAM left after Fragment's 5% | Less than 5 GRAM left: the fee eats the whole edge |
| 4. Liquidity | 15 or more recent sales in the collection | No recent sales: you may not be able to exit |
| 5. Same item | The model and backdrop you compared with | A rare model compared against a plain floor |
These are the four conditions the radar itself applies to a gift snipe, plus the model check that a human has to do by eye.
Where each number comes from
The floor comes from the collection page, with a timestamp — read the timestamp, because a floor is a fact about a minute, not about today. The price and the listing type come from the item's own public page on Fragment, which also shows the model, the backdrop and the number. The recent-sales count comes from the same collection page: if it is zero, an alert is a guess about a market that is not trading.
The fee is the part people skip. Fragment takes 5% on a resale, so a gift bought at 90 GRAM and sold at 100 GRAM returns 95 GRAM — a 5 GRAM gain that a network fee can erase. The radar's own rule is stricter than most people's: the edge only counts if at least 5 GRAM remains after the fee.
What an alert cannot tell you
It cannot tell you the listing is still there. Good deals are often bought within seconds, and a page cached a minute ago is already history. It cannot tell you that you will resell at the floor: the floor can fall while you hold, and thin markets can take days or weeks to sell at all. And it cannot tell you that the gift is desirable — a below-floor price on a model nobody wants is still a below-floor price on a model nobody wants.
So use the alert as a pointer, not as an answer. Sixty seconds of checking is cheaper than a week of holding something you cannot sell.
The 90% threshold in the table is not arbitrary. A gift at 95% of the floor leaves 5% of the price as your entire edge — exactly the resale fee — so the trade is flat before any network cost, and negative after it. At 90%, a 10% discount covers the fee and still leaves something. That is also why the site's own record is worth reading before you trust an alert: 35 hunts logged, 16 confirmed sold on Fragment, none sold above its alert price. A method that publishes that line is telling you what the edge really looks like.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as below floor?
A fixed-price listing at 90% of the floor or less, with at least 5 GRAM left after the 5% fee, in a collection with 15 or more recent sales. Anything else is a listing, not a snipe.
Why are auctions excluded?
Because an auction price is a minimum bid, not a price you can pay. The radar only measures fixed-price listings, so an auction alert would compare two different things.
Can I trust the floor on the collection page?
It is the cheapest buy-now listing at the timestamp shown. Read the timestamp: if it is old, or the collection has no buy-now listing, the number describes the past, not the moment you are buying.
What if the collection has no recent sales?
Then you cannot rely on selling quickly at the floor. Treat any alert there as a long hold, and price in the risk that the item does not sell at all.
