I understand when there is no price, but seeing 4 cards listed with a price of $0.00 on the 1993-94 UPPER DECK Hockey set. I see a scammer price-fixing cards.

and ensquire did it 15 times in a row on this one. Completely destroying the average for it and ensuring that if anyone adds a new price, that it will not be counted and keeping it at Zero. 15 times!? There is no excuse for this. Its abuse of the system. 

I have seen this happen many times in the pricing. I agree with you that I would prefer you could only make one entry over a certain amount of time while others argue but what if I purchased 3 cards on the same day? The problem is allowing this creates an easy way to abuse the pricing system. Unfortunately, not enough people care and others it feels want to road block progress for those who care about the pricing feature. 

It was a struggle for me but I have finally put the pricing feature to rest for me. I do my part. I put in what I feel is accurate price information when I have time. I no longer let the pricing data here concern me. All is good for me now.

Interestingly enough, I feel a lot of junk era commons are probably more accurately priced at $0.00 than something more than that! 

Another option would be to just completely ignore the pricing on this site. How many threads have been created because of pricing frustrations? Everyone who is a regular user on here should know the pricing is inaccurate (subtle way of putting in) so why bother. I just ignore it and move on. When I'm trading and someone wants to use pricing from the site I kindly point them to real sources for prices like eBay, SportLots, etc. to better gauge value. Getting mad at the bad pricing on here should be the least of our concerns and stressors in life.

Hoping for a fix soon.....

Looks like someone fixed it. I removed the 0.00's on the other 3.

Prices on this site reflect those on eBay and Sportslot as well as any retail we see.  The site depends on the honesty in order for there to be any integrity.  You should be concerned about the prices on the site.  I have added as many as 5 quotes on certain cards as that's what I've found on eBay.  Sure, someone comes along and knocks down the price with a $2.00 retail quote on a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. rookie which can over time be averaged out.  In the end value will count and it's part what we need in order to trade.

I put no stock in prices on this web site.  I will go to ebay and get an average for a cards(s) whenever I get ready to propose or accept a a trade.

Can't believe someone is wasting their time changing a card ptice to 0.00 for junk era cards..

I can't believe that PRICING is such a mess ! Unreliable source for selling or trading !

Prices are arbitrary and useless.   It gets back to  a card is worth what someone is willing to pay for it TODAY
