XmrBazaar (beta)

The most common question about XmrBazaar.com: “What category sells best?” Media and creative writing rules dictate I should string you along, dangling the answer until the very end to keep you hooked… but you know me: I break rules when “if I find them too obnoxious”. No sense wasting your time if you’re after a quick, straight answer. So here’s the one-glance answer: two charts breaking down XmrBazaar’s buyers’ and sellers’ listings versus successfully completed orders, ranked by most orders per product/service type (up to date, including only confirmed completed orders to filter out scams where a shady “seller” marks it done but the buyer doesn’t confirm). Keep in mind, as a privacy-first marketplace, users can delete completed orders entirely from our database, so this is just the visible slice of the real pie. Also, sometimes users choose not the most fitting category for their listing, which can skew the category stats a bit. Listings include drafts and out-of-stock items, since sellers often flip to draft mode instead of marking sold out.




I’ll leave the data interpretation to you, hope you found some insights. Got questions, suggestions, or want more details? You know where to find me :)

Now that you’ve got your answers, feel free to bail on this piece and reclaim your day: data bomb dropped! I know how people love charts and stats: hope I hit your data sweet tooth with this bite-sized, easy-to-digest treat ;)

Below is a philosophical detour for those sticking around: a longer-ish read packed with quotes and a plug for two classics on the data that’s not there, and how to train yourself to see the unseen. I (and some much smarter people) argue that what’s missing often matters more than what’s staring you in the face. BTW, if you recognized the subtitle of this article, you won’t find much new here, except maybe your favorite quotes :)
