How to tell what a Telegram gift is worth

Updated 12 November 2026 · 5 min read

A Telegram gift is worth what comparable gifts actually sell for, not what the cheapest seller asks. Getting there means reading three numbers (floor, median and last sale) and checking them against the right group of gifts. As of November 2026, Sales Tracker has 14.8M recorded sales to compare with, and the median gift sale over the last 30 days was 5.79 TON.

Floor, median and last sale

Three prices come up on every gift page. They answer different questions.

• Floor: the cheapest listing right now. It tells you the lowest price you could pay today, on one marketplace, for the cheapest gift in the group.
• Median sale: the middle price of completed sales over a period. Half sold for more, half for less. One odd sale barely moves it.
• Last sale: the most recent completed sale. It is current, but it is one trade, and it can be an outlier.

The floor is an asking price. The median and the last sale are prices someone actually paid. When you want to know what a gift is worth, paid prices carry more weight.

Why the cheapest listing misleads

A collection floor is the cheapest gift of any model, any backdrop, any number. It says almost nothing about a gift with a rare model. A Plush Pepe on a common model and one on Cozy Galaxy share a collection floor, yet record Cozy Galaxy sales passed 100,000 TON.

Single prices can also be far off the market. Over the 30 days to November 2026, these collections had a lowest sale far below their median:

A price like 0.6 TON for a gift whose median is 589 TON is not the market. Use it neither as proof a gift is cheap nor as the price to sell at. Plush Pepe shows the opposite case: a lowest sale close to its median means buyers there agree on price.

Floors also differ by marketplace. The same gift can be listed cheaper on Portals than on MRKT at the same moment, or the other way around. Compare marketplaces shows each gift's floor on every venue.

Use the model floor, not the collection floor

The model is the trait that moves price most, so compare a gift with others of the same model. Sales Tracker shows several floors on a gift's page, from broad to narrow:

• Gift floor: the cheapest gift of the collection, any model.
• Model floor: the cheapest gift with the same model, any backdrop.
• Backdrop floor: the cheapest gift with the same backdrop, any model.
• Black and Onyx Black floors: the same model on the two black backdrops, which often sell above the rest.

For a common gift, the model floor is close to its value. For a gift with a rare backdrop or a low number, the model floor is a starting point, and the gift is likely worth more.

Each gift page also shows an estimated value. It starts from recent sales of the same model, then adjusts for the backdrop, a monochrome match and the number premium. When the same model on the same backdrop is listed cheaper, the estimate goes no higher than that listing. A gift's own recent sale lifts it, but only up to twice what comparable gifts sell for. A sale ten times above anything comparable is left out. The estimate comes with a range and a confidence level, and it falls back to the model floor when there are too few recent sales.

Check the sales history

Before buying or selling, look at what sold, not only at what is listed. Sales lists every recorded sale, live or as history. Narrow it down like this:

1. Pick the gift, then the model. Add the backdrop if it is a rare one.
2. Switch to History and choose 7 days or 30 days. Older prices can be out of date.
3. Read the summary: number of sales, volume, average and highest.
4. Sort by highest or lowest price to see the range, and drop the outliers at both ends.

Every single gift also has its own history: how many times it sold, its highest, average and lowest price, and its first sale. A gift that has sold several times at similar prices is easier to price than one that never traded.

The Records view on Sales shows the top sales this week, this month and of all time, for the whole market or one gift. It helps you see where the ceiling is, but records are the top of the range, not a typical price.

Read the market as a whole

Gift prices move with the market. October 2026 was the busiest month Sales Tracker has recorded, with 1.72M sales and 38.4M TON in volume. In the 30 days to November 2026, 1.95M sales closed for 43.1M TON. When volume jumps, floors can move fast in either direction.

The Heat map shows every collection as a tile. Tile size is market cap (cheapest listing, or last sale, times gifts issued) or volume. Tile color is the price change: the median sale of the last day against the same day a set period before. It is the quickest way to see whether a drop is one gift or the whole market.

Gifts trade in TON, so their value in dollars also moves with the TON price. The TON price page has charts and a converter.

Find gifts listed under their value

The Deal Finder runs this whole process for every live listing. It compares each listing with the most specific fair price it has: the 30 day average sale of the same model and backdrop, or else the 7 day average of the same model. Only comparable sales count, between half and twice the median, and it needs at least 3 of them by default. If another listing of the same model is cheaper than that average, it becomes the reference instead, so a deal is always the cheapest of its kind.

To track a price without checking it every day, set an alert, and @SalesBot messages you when a gift drops under your price. Use the Finder to look up a specific gift by model, backdrop, symbol or number.
