It’s a guide, that’s all. Most people read it and use it accordingly, as a guide. Furthermore, Ebay prices are the real world, it’s real as real world gets. You list an item on an open global market, I shouldn’t have to explain this. Ebay’s ended prices are a part of my final decision in determining current market values in the price guide. However, this is only one of many factors. There are also my personal experiences, the selling and wanted forum, and the constant email/icq suggestions I receive. Instead of constantly criticizing and trying to blame, why not contribute for a change?

I'd have to disagree that Ebay prices are good to use because they are the real world. Here is why. Do we know if the seller and Buyer have made a successful transaction? NO. Do we know if there was foul play it the auction. NO. I had my Voltage Fighter Gowkaiser go for $510 the first time I posted it. the piece of shit bidder back out on me and I got burned. Now can you use that price for the price guide? If you think that the transaction went well then, YES. How are you to know if it did unless you look further into the deal later and see if there is positive feedback or not. Then if you base that on whether or not they EVEN leave feedback (some people don't bother or even care) you then wouldn't know. So I think that unless the prices on Ebay are thouroghly checked, sometimes that's impossible, they can't be considered a difinitive price. Going on I then relisted my VFG again and it went for about $350. Oh well, I think my auction was tainted, but I know the bidder I sold it to was honest since I had dealt with him before. So my question is, HOW DO YOU KNOW? .....answer, you DON'T! ....just my thoughts......
