Why the same gift has different prices in different markets
Because each market is a separate order book with its own fee, its own buyers and its own listing type. TG Gifts measures one of them — Fragment — and says so on every floor page: a price below the Fragment floor is not the cheapest price anywhere, and a floor here is a Fragment fact, not a global one.
Five reasons the numbers differ
| Reason | What changes | What you can see today |
|---|---|---|
| Listing type | Buy-now, timed sale and auction are three mechanisms | 21 of 123 collections had only timed sales on 2026-11-02 |
| Fee | Fragment takes 5% on a resale | A 100 GRAM sale returns 95 GRAM |
| Depth | One seller or many, one model or fifty | Inside one collection the model floor was 25 GRAM against a 19 GRAM floor |
| Timing | GRAM moves; a scan is a moment | Every floor carries the UTC time it was read |
| Access | In-app resale and third-party marketplaces are other books | The same gift can be listed lower there |
Only the first four are inside our data. The fifth is why every estimate built on a Fragment floor is capped at medium confidence.
How to compare two markets without lying to yourself
Convert everything to GRAM at the same minute, compare the same model and the same backdrop, include the fee you will pay on the way out, and note the listing type. A 100 GRAM buy-now listing is not cheaper than a 95 GRAM timed sale: the first can be accepted now, the second needs a seller to agree before a timer runs out. And a 90 GRAM auction bid is not cheaper than either — it is a bid that can be outbid in the last second.
The mistake that costs the most money is comparing a rare model's price in one market with a plain model's floor in another. Those are not two prices for one thing; they are two different things. Compare model to model, backdrop to backdrop, and accept that some items simply have no comparable listing anywhere.
What our numbers mean, exactly
A floor on this site is the cheapest buy-now listing on Fragment at the timestamp shown, refreshed in rotation roughly every 15 minutes. It is not a sale, it is not an average, and it is not a promise that you can buy at that price — the cheapest listing is often taken first. When other markets list the same gift lower, our number stays honest about being a Fragment number, which is why the method page states the limit in plain words instead of quietly widening the claim.
If you need the cheapest price anywhere, you have to look everywhere. If you need a number you can check, dated and reproducible, one market measured consistently beats five markets measured by eye.
This is also why "the same gift" is harder to define than it sounds. Two Plush Pepes with different models, different backdrops and different numbers are not the same asset, even though they share a collection name. A price comparison only means something when the model matches and the listing type matches; when either differs, you are comparing a car with a bicycle because both have wheels.

Frequently asked questions
Is the floor on this site the cheapest price anywhere?
No. It is the cheapest buy-now listing on Fragment. Telegram's in-app resale and third-party marketplaces are separate books and can list the same gift lower, which the method page states explicitly.
Why can two collections show very different floors for a similar gift?
Because the floor is per collection: supply, model mix and how many sellers are active all differ. A 19 GRAM floor and a 25 GRAM model floor can exist in the same collection at the same minute.
Does a 5% fee matter when comparing markets?
Yes. A cheaper listing in a market with a higher fee can be more expensive after the sale. Convert to net GRAM after fees before you compare.
Can I compare a timed sale with a buy-now floor?
Not directly. A buy-now price can be accepted now; a timed sale needs the seller to accept before the timer ends. Treat the timed number as an ask with a deadline.
