What is it based on? GPT? ex : we could sell pottery for 2GPT (max) ?

These numbers are technology cost as on the civilization advances tab in the editor.
There is a formula relevant for research cost of a tech according to different factors such as Map, Level you play, Number of Civ that have already discovered the researched tech, number of Civ left in the game.

This absolutely RULES!!

I have been looking for something like this. I always have a hard time judging relative worth of techs, so this will be very helpful indeed.



BTW: I imagine this will vary slightly for each civ, depending on what tech they get their UU with? Ex - BW will be valued higher by the Greeks than the Persians?

Nop, BW will cost the same price for either Greeks or Persian.
Factors are
- Technology cost
- Map sizes
- Level you play
- Number of known Civ that have already discovered the researched tech
- Number of Civ left in the game.

Yeah, those variants change the cost a lot. IIRC, I bought Pottery for only 10 gold once.

I remember somebody bought FreeArtistry for 10G, and I sold it to AI for 10G (even I was the only one who had it, but wonder was done already)

Yes! that is another variant I forgot to list. The price of a tech where a Great Wonder is associated will drop once the Great Wonder has been completed, so it is often a good idea to sell such a tech a turn before finishing the Great Wonder.
