Ok guys I'm tire of trying to get a trade going only to get denied because someone else tells me that they are using tcg player or some other weird website. I use starcitygames because they don't price cards based on what another shop can sell them for. Shops have sells all the time. Stg uses base price for the card an card only other stores base their own card prices from stg. So if you stop trying to twist the deal in your favor I'm not ripping anybody off. I'm a trusted trader. If you base your cards of tcg then go buy them and get off this forum. Sorry to everybody else having to read my little rant lol. :p

I think it's pretty widely accepted to use TCGPlayer mid price because it takes a large sample of various stores. Starcity is one store so they adjust their prices based on their inventory. I think you're backwards about your claim... TCGPlayer is a large collection of vendors so it represents a wide range of available cards. Of course you are welcome to use whatever method you want for your trades but don't be surprised when you use one thing and 90% of the rest of the community uses something else.

Starcitygames prices are generally even higher than the average of TCGPlayer.

Everyone has there own mesurements.
I prefer to go by the prices in this app! It makes sense because both parts are using the same price scale!
If you want to use another price scale then you tell people before you offer a trade. Its not the other persons fault if you're picky.

When you compare TCG, SCG, troll an toad, SCG is higher on almost everything.

Cal tcg has recently adjusted their prices. However if you all want a good even base eBay has pretty good prices

I did this cause I had a few people wanting to trade me. And the trade was stupid. He wanted my Bloodcrypt which he valued at 9 dollars! For his detention sphere. Bloodcrypt is not 9 dollars and he was using another price.

Then just say no to the trade and move on. It's important to make sure you're using the same yardstick when you're taking a measurement... You know what I mean?

All in all isn't trading a neigoation. You can say yes or no. You can also make your own terms. If both people agree in the end is all that matters. I've trade things before we went back and forth a bunch of times. Sometimes we agreed and others was a waste of time. I wouldn't take it personally just say we cannot agree and move on to the next one and maybe not spend so much time dealing with them again. Or start out saying this is what I value my cards at and if you don't agree let's not waste each others time.
