Posting this under the heading it deserves: Revisiting: Patterns that reliably precede a problem, documented Everything below is what sits behind that.
Patterns, from the point of view of someone who has read the documentation and is still stuck.
Saying which parts I have understood so that nobody wastes time re-explaining them, and where exactly the understanding stops.
Pricing patterns: unusually low prices for what are otherwise consistent with market rates might indicate lower quality, stolen goods, or a scam. Unusually high prices without justification raise different flags.
That is what I would do. It may not be what is correct.
An honest declaration on Patterns: I have a prior here and it is strong enough that you should weight what I say downward. Stating it rather than hiding it.
