Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Good morning,

I hope that I am posting in the right place. Please forgive me if I am not. I have two questions about proposing a transaction.

1. Is there a way to post that eliminates doubles from the mix? For example, if someone matches 1000 cards in my collection, but only 60 are unique, can I get just the 60 cards?

2. Is there a way to include the default price in the transaction or must it always be accessed and calculated separately as part of a transaction (assuming that I am selling or buying).

Thanks in advance, and if this is not the right place, please let me know and I will delete the post and re-post it in the right place.

Sincerely,

Richard Smith

I asked the same ? the other day and the answer was no on removing duplicates, and assuming that you mean the pricing on tcdb when referring to default price? Either way I'm pretty sure that's a no as well (i dont think anyone has much confidence in those prices as what Ive seen is pretty inaccurate)

Yeah, definitely haven't seen a default price inclusion for trades, and I'm not sure one would necessarily want that given the debate about TCDB prices. When price once in a while shows up in trade discussions I end up having to manually compiling prices from Sportlots to get a general idea if something is close or not. Unless an elaborate program can be created that strips a bunch of prices from other websites and averages them (assuming the other websites want TCDB doing that) I just don't see that feature happening with much accuracy.

The duplicate stripping, though, might be a nice feature if it's possible. You may have to put in a feature request for that one.

Thank you for the replies! I appreciate it! Will consider putting in a feature request for duplicate stripping.

Dn't not rely on any pricing iformation on this site. Despite pushes to have it update to more accurate information, it just isn't there. Too many factors to list why, but don't trust it. You'll find that many traders on this site, myself included, will not conduct a trade based off of prciing here. 

The pricing on TCDB should only be used a really vague general guideline for the price of a card.  Like, to determine whether a card is worth pennies or up to a few dollars or something like that.  It's pretty useless for determining exact prices and shouldn't be used for valuing cards in a trade. 

Usually what I do when the value of a card becomes relevant in a trade is I will find a few copies of the card that were recently sold on eBay or Sportlots (sort by "completed" or "sold items") so I can find a price that somebody actually paid that I can use as a reference, and then after the trade I will add that sold price to TCDB as well.
