Uhhhh... really? Instead of giving you a meal, I'll teach you to fish. The price of all commodities available from the trader is traditionally the average of buy and sell price at the trader. In large quantities, such as 12e = 100k, it's slightly negotiable, but all sales are based on the average figure.

Instead of going to the trader and checking for you, I'll let you get some practice!

Just one thing you have to know - ectos are quite an exception when it comes to an item that has an npc trader value - since they're so heavily traded between players and are basically the second if not the first player-player trading currency, the ecto going rate is highly independant from the trader value. Ofcourse it stays inbetween trader's buy and sell price but it often happens that a swing +/-1k in trader price doesn't impact the street price at all - trader is swingy.

As a general rule for pricing ectos - look for bulk buyers and bulk sellers in Kamadan and Great temple of Balthazar (spam like WTB ectos 13=100k, WTS ectos 12=100k, WTB all ectos 8k ea and such) - you'll know the current going rate quickly.

There's no better fast way to determine the price.
