Pricing has always been a major issue on our site. To make matters worse, I started checking prices submitted by Sportlots (quit after about 50 cards). Every card had in excess of 20 prices submitted by Sportlots at 18 or 20 cents, and not one URL to substantiate the prices. I don't get it!

Usually there wouldn't be a URL coming from Sportslots as it's a batch process.
Is the issue that you disagree with the 18-20 cents? The lack of a URL? Something else?

I agree it’s weird that most prices on Spotlots are 18-20 cents, however I think that a deletion of all that data is not necessary. This isn’t a pricing site and if you don’t like the prices submitted, then just click “Edit Profile” on your profile page and turn off prices for your collection.

I commented on a recent post that I enter prices just to keep track on my end of how much money I’ve spent. When I enter the prices, does that show to everyone across the board or is that only shown to me?

That's only shown on your end. It won't be shown to everyone unless you click "submit a price."

Oh really? Thought you could do this, could’ve sworn I saw this option. Perhaps I just misinterpreted what this does. Guess I shouldn’t talk if I’ve never tried it out for myself 🙂
To the OP, the statement still stands that this is not a pricing site…

The partnership with Sportlots has allowed the automatic importing of actual, real-world prices. There was a lot of copmplaining that the prices on the site were "unrealistic", and now that Admin has entered into a partnership with one of the leaders in online sports card sales people are complaining that the prices are unrealistic coming from a trusted source - one that is reporting ACTUAL sales. I don't get it! How can you dispute actual sales reports?

The option exists, but I still see pricing all over everything no matter what I do.
And yes, i've said the same thing may times over, not a pricing site.
