The only suggestion I would have for ADMIN would be to get rid of pricing altogether. 

Don’t use it if you don’t like it. Many others do and it really doesn’t affect you and others that aren’t into it. That would be like saying get rid of images because some people submit photos instead of scans.

Only thing it’s real helpful for is like a insert if I don’t know how rare it is or just a rough estimate of what my collection could sell for/worth.

ranting is always fun.....sigh

I think I would remove the pricing on the card page but keep the pricing on the collection page. That has been my confusion about it all is why is the card page trying to advise or publish what I should sell something for.  If I want to sell my Kole Calhoun base for $1 each then I should do so by listing each card as FS in my collection and putting the price on each card, no need to try to keep up with market prices that's up to the buyer to determine if they want to pay what the seller is selling for.

So many postings about prices!!!

Maybe we should be asking.  What do we want from having prices here.

1.  Do we care or use.  

2. To give an idea about a price.  Is it really a .25 card or a $25 card.

3. To know what we paid for a card.

4. To price cards for what we want to sale/trade them for.

5.  To know the value of our collection/cards.  

6.  To know if a card value is going up or down.

7.  To use it for trades or sales.

As of now Admin lets us put in prices of Only cards sold.  To be use how we want to use them.   Yes we wonder about some prices added. (way to high or low).   We all know prices change so there is no real way to keep up with millions of cards that can change overnight. 

Value and price are not the same for everyone.   Just ask the members that I have trade/sold to.

Or a misunderstanding of the difference between entering an asking price (on the card details page for a FS/T item) and using the "Submit a Price" link to contribute to the site price guide feature.

I would prefer how sportscardpro.com does their pricing from Ebay sales.

They somehow, pull Ebay sold listings, raw and graded versions, and show them in your collection; Everything else about that site is junk, and running from a 1995 type Web page.

if pricing is such an issue for you, then go to your profile settings and turn them off...simple fix.

It would be great if the site could pull all the prices for each card that was sold over the internet no matter what site it as on.   It will not happen.   We do have Sportlots (good or bad).  Maybe someday we will have E-Bay and COMC prices linked without us adding them.

This site was started and is a Database for all types of trading cards, not a price guide.  The site is more into finding, verifying new/different sets/cards then what the prices are.  

Sportscardpro.com. appears to be more of a Price Guide.
