It's worse to provide incorrect information than no information at all.  I understand that they're dependent on what their pricing partner provides to them through the API, but if they can't get accurate pricing, they could mark the values as unknown, while retaining the clickthrough to the TCG site.  Could also implement a table filter to allow you to see the subset of your cards that are promo/textless/foil/signed/etc. and therefore might have differing values.

There's typically a temptation to throw up your hands and give up when working with a third party that doesn't provide you the calls you need, but there's usually something you can do to make sure your users aren't led into making mistakes.  And if it was a dealbreaker for using the tool, why would we be coming on the forum to suggest improvements?

I actually like this idea. It sounds like a quick and easy fix code-wise. Whenever a user marks a card as foil, simply return no pricing information and a visible warning.

I don't care so much about filtering. You can easily do that yourself by exporting the CSV into excel.

EDIT

I'm not sure what is up with the recent wave of people asking me to generate invoices for them but please note that I will not do this. I tried messing with that stuff the first time someone asked and it was nothing but a page of 99999 questions and boxes that I don't really want to fill out.

I accept payment via the "purchase goods/services" (non-gift) option on the main page of paypal. You enter an email and amount and the money gets sent - simple and fast.

I actually don't mind looking up the prices for the foils since I have to do it anyways because I'm selling on MTGS also.

However, it is irritating (as a seller) to have to apologize because I'm too stupid/tired/lazy to realize that the prices listed for foils are the same as normal.

I know I have punted about three sales this week because of this... lol

I have been accidentally giving people wrong quotes about the prices of foils because deckbox does not take foil prices into consideration.

Maybe in the future you could make deckbox show foils prices for any card that has an established expansion symbol (no promos). TCGplayer does have a separate pricing data for their foils so it should be possible.

Just a suggestion.

You call yourself "fair" but are selling Modern Masters booster boxes for $400 each. Did you look up what everyone else is selling them for sealed, or just put your own "fair" price on it? People can easily buy them for $300 and less from numerous other sources.

Do you really care what I am selling my Modern Masters boxes for? Or did you did you just come here to complain for no good reason?

The prices I sell my cards for are the cheaper than anything you can buy online at a store. It would have been nice if you asked more questions before coming to an incorrect conclusion that (all) my prices are unfair.

What I choose to sell my Modern Masters boxes for is my business, but since you obviously care I am marking them up intentionally knowing full well that they are cheaper elsewhere.

Just a heads up, selling at double TCGmid is insane (asking me for $25 for two Spellskites.)  I'd love to buy some of these cards but your pricing is the most expensive on the internet.

I miss calculated the price and doubled the total by accident. My prices are  probably the least expensive on the internet.  You are welcome to open up the trade again.

I cancelled a trade for the same reason

I offered you a fair price for the cards you wanted that was certainly cheaper than what you can get through TCGplayer.

Starcity has MM boxes for $300. You're charging $100 more than starcitygames.com?

Yes. I'm probably going to sit on these for a while at this price tongue.

Are you selling at medium price, low price, or taking offers?

My prices are based off the TCGplayer low prices. I usually discount those prices by a percentage. Let me know if you have any other questions.

That's why they invented scotch tape. I've had people send me cards that had that same issue. I find the common error to be the cards aren't secured inside the envelope. Sometimes the top loaders aren't even taped at the top and the cards have slid out.

Tape them to a sheet of paper. fold the paper to fit inside the envelope. close envelope and put a piece of tape on both short sides of the envelope. the paper keeps it rigid without adding weight and the tape on the edge prevents ripping in the postal machines.

Fine just for you I will do that and reduce my shipping price but I am going to have to charge you for all that tape big_smile ... JK LOL

01. -- For individual cards and small orders the price for shipping will be $2.55????

That's crazy talk. One stamp in a single envelope will ship 7-8 cards in penny sleeves with a top loader. Its never failed me

I have received cards (from a tcgplayer store) in a normal envelope where the sorting machine destroyed the envelope. I was lucky that the machine didn't destroy the cards and that nothing fell out through the huge tear in the middle. 

I completely agree that $2.55 to ship something small is outrageous but bubble mailer + sleeves + topload card holder has never failed me! big_smile

If you're charging TCG average, shipping, and paypal fees then why wouldn't they just buy from the store and avoid some or all of the extra costs?

This is a very good question and I would be happy to explain.

I am not charging TCGplayer average prices for most sales. I am only using the TCG-average prices as a base for negotiation. There are many online sources that can be used for price data (SCG, eBay, TCG, CFB). It is difficult to price cards when there is so much variance between popular online stores. For convenience, I have chosen to use TCGplayer-averages for my pricing data because I feel that these accurately represent the true market value for each card. I understand that this is not always the case and I am happy to review any other pricing information when necessary.

I also understand that my shipping fees are on the expensive side. However, the $2.55 is the true cost it takes for me to mail an item with a bubble mailer and postage. If anyone knows of a way to reduce these costs, I could really use some help in this area. I admit, I too would be hesitant to purchase from myself with these costs. However, I can positively say that I am very fast at shipping out orders (same day or next day after payment is received). I place orders on TCGplayer all the time and most of the time it takes at least three business days for orders to ship out. Some of the stores on TCGplayer don’t even provide working tracking numbers and will ship you your product in paper envelopes (which is unsafe).

As for the PayPal fees, that is just the cost for doing business on PayPal. Most people will want to use the gift option to avoid these fees but that option does not offer any protection for the buyer or seller. If something goes wrong PayPal can step in and try to resolve disputes. Most trading/sales forums have rules that specifically suggest that trading partners not use the gift option for this reason.

Another benefit from purchasing from me is that I will provide buyers with real pictures and accurate descriptions of the actual card (front and back). This is something that online stores do not offer. I once ordered lightly played cards from TCGplayer and have received heavy played and signed cards at this condition. If you buy from me, what you see is what you get.
