Suggestion/Question - Does stats.tf count items on the community market?

[Jymotion]

No idea if this is even the correct forum, but I was just wondering.  All the genuines/festives/vintages on the community market are owned by people, but are not in their backpacks.  I was curious if these are counted by stats.tf, and if not, if it would be possible.

probably documented if they were once in a public bp.. not sure how often stats.tf updates

If the item is in the steam market and the backpack of that seller is scanned, it won't find the item anymore and it will be removed from the stats.

That is what I figured.  Wouldn't you consider the statistics more inaccurate because of that?  For example, these 5500 goggles are ignored by the scans.  Do you consider this an issue?

They're a known quantity, and once bought they're placed into packs.

 

I don't really see a problem

if stats.tf is saying "X number of this item exist in vintage quantity", but it is ignoring Y number of them on the market (unscanned), then it is an additional reason for X to be inaccurate.

I figured it wasn't substantial.  Just a question / suggestion if it was simple enough to implement :/
