Item data: Classic Era client datamine. Prices: per-unit buyouts from Auction House scans made in game by players with the TheWoWDB addon, one scan per realm per hour at most; Blizzard publishes no auction data for WoW Forever, so a price is only as fresh as the latest scan. Retail column: the retail client datamine.
