So basically you're saying that the rest of us know nothing, since our input pales to compare to your "hundreds" of transactions. This sounds pretty one sided to me. I'm done buying CPS2 stuff anyway. I guess I shouldn't care.
Nope I'm saying at best a opinion should be backed with some evidence and it will take more than ONE person to change my, is that asking so much, why are you getting defensive. My opinions are based on repetitive personal dealings in the real world and that is a fact, how much involved can you get than that. My low end is what I would sell a board for which includes shipping why the high end is what the same game has been sold for at places like ebay and even on this forum. Show me your sales threads and I will show you mines, plain and simple.
At best I imagine any example put forward to me will consist of a lone occurance from a single link in opposition or at worse come down to I know a guy who knew this guy who bought a progear from a garage sale for $1 so change your guide accordingly. Basically you see things like this, if you seen a sale for a ps3 for $200 why everyone else is selling for $400 you would now believe from that day forward that ps3 are only worth $200 (jokes aside) and not try to reason that this is a one time/rare deal or a annual deal, you would just draw the conclusion that this is now the new low end despite the fact that availability at that price is in no way a guaranteed thing in contrast to the regular price at what the item sells. Now there definitely the chance that the collecting market will tank the price on the cps2 hardware much like sony can drop the price on their ps3 to $200 but neither cases have happened yet.
My opinions are just that, not gospel and the same holds true for yours, don't get pissed off man I wasn't trying to antagonize you.
