Title: Pricing question
Post by: Necromancerman on October 21, 2013, 04:43:41 PM
Someone told me people use the mid price not the high price when determining selling cards on this app am I the only one who uses the high price?

What I have seen is most people (99.9%) use mid price for trades. As far as selling I see people try high to mid price but never really get any bites, but when they go below mid price to low price people seem more interested to buy.

When I'm trying to sell I try to sell for the mid, but I anticipate selling for the low.  If someone were to buy the card online, they would buy it for the low, so they wouldn't want to spend more.

When trading, I use the mid price every time so someone doesn't get scammed by a store offering it for a really low price.

Well put.

Or by stores that sell to high, or put incorrect prices.

Yeah, the mid is average, and the high could be one person overpricing a card, and that'd be the high. At one point {_____} was 100$ at the high because of it, and people are more likely to trade with you if you use mid. Just a sort of summary of what's already been said ;)

Mid price is trade. Low price is cash..
