I'm just curious how reliable it is and has it been verified in any way? I see big vendors with little feedback (obviously because of empire exit) it would be easy for someone to make an vendor account with that name and do some scamming. Any input and opinions are appreciated.

We import what we can find and we check PGP keys, for now our only feedback source is Recon, what we can find there, we import. As a side note if someone applies for a vendor account claiming they are an established vendor and their keys don't match their vendor application is denied and their account is deleted. If you think a vendor is not who they claim they are and we made a mistake please report them.

Recon never updated Emp. But you can find emp-stats on DarkNet Trust. Last update: August 7th. Can you use those stats? Edit: You can find the link on /d/cloneTeam

Recon stats for Empire are a bit old indeed but some recent stats will be added. We don't import stuff from DarkNet Trust because we don't trust them.

Problem is some of the biggest vendors have less than 20 sales at this point because of the migration. It's hard to get a good feel for a product with suck little info.

I guess in reality that is what we are all doing every day. Try and make the right decision.

The data is outdated due to Empire disabling their imports to Recon, not at all my fault. Claiming your account on Recon is NOT to get any sort of data either, it depends which market(s) are sending your data to Recon, correctly.

Recon is the best available resource

How? How can WHM go find your empire stats when the market is gone?
