I have a Yangervis Solarte MiLB card that is somehow valued on this site at 27.99. It's not even a variation, but it's the actual price. Five have sold for at or around that value, and none have sold lower than $23.

It's called price-fixing.

1. The same guy is running up the price every few days. To make the price change on the main page. So it's easy to show a link to it. To someone, they are selling to. 

2. The same guy has been here less than 6 weeks and has no feedback.

3. Looking at his collection. He only has 1,596 and the pricing for them is $2,968.53. So every card he has is a minimum of around $2 ?? No one here can hit that mark. I bet he is working on doing it for every card he has. 

and that's 3 strikes. 

With no control on pricing here, if you look, you see it way too much. The website is a platform for cons to make up any price to con someone. They also lower prices to buy cards. If the pricing can't be fixed to be correct, it needs to be dropped. Letting anyone post a price is asking for trouble. it's being used to rip people off and that makes the website look bad. 

When a person finds out they have been ripped off. The website gets just as much blame as the guy that did it and everyone here takes the hit. The website is and does have a bad reputation because of this. You find this out when you bring up the website.

If it's never fixed or stopped it's only going to get worse and the website will die off from no trust in time. It's sad to say, but it is inevitable. 

I don't think the website will suffer due to the poor pricing feature because it's popularity is driven by everything outside of pricing. I used to do what I could to correct a lot of the poor pricing but it got frustrating and when the process was put into place to try to stop some of this it has now made it too difficult to fix some of the older poor pricing for commons. If there is an old price of $.99 for a common that common sense tells you should be worth $.02 or $.05 it seems you can't update it without providing evidence of a purchase for $.02. The fix hasn't made it better. I love the site. The pricing is trash.
