My friend ha a Nissa he's looking to get rid of, he's intersted in the Liliana. https://deckbox.org/users/trmiller1326 If you find some other stuff on his list to make up value shoot him a trade.

Your insurance agent knows about deckbox?

The price fix they put in today seems to be good. Checking some values vs. other sites they seem to be very inline now.

I tend to keep standard cards in a box per block with dividers per set, then color/alpha. For cards not in standard I have a box per color, then sets, core sets then expansions. So I have an RTR block, Theros Block, and M14/15 box. On rotation the RTR and m14 cards will go into boxes per color at the end. Once you organize everything, you mostly update the standard boxes, then when they rotate you just pick each color out and put them in their appropriate boxes. Rares I have a bulk rare box, which is a disaster, and playable cards get bindered. I'm probably going to have to seperate binders into standard/not standard but I'm not quite their yet.

You missed the part where they said if they didn't add the market to monetize the site then they'd shut it down.

sorry I tend to gloss over hyperbolic statements on the internet, I'd like to think most people that use the internet for some time learn to ignore them. Yes of course statements like that are unreasonable, but they arent' really the point either. I understand this isn't a choice per say, the whole pricing thing, but it is unexpected, which tends to draw reactions out of people, and amazon is not a good pricing data source for magic cards. I think that is the main point people want to express, that a sudden switch of pricing data to a less than reliable source is making people more reserved about transaction on deckbox, given that it was stated up front today that this is a transition and not the new final form of pricing data. It is better, for me at least,  to regroup and see what comes next than to boldly plow ahead with inferior data. Yes I could do my own pricing with a trade partner, but I don't have anything I need to acquire pressingly to bother at this point in time. I'm not going to ignore deckbox, I'm just not going to open or accept new trades for a little bit.

I don't think anyone said they ever did surveys or research? I think the point she's making is they were going to monetize the site or shut it down because it was to much work to do for free anymore, and hooking up people that have cards and people looking for cards to buy/sell as an alternative to trade seems more natural than just charging for a membership or something.

I don't disagree that it is each persons responsibility to know the prices, but having a platform that made trade valuations simple was a HUGE part of the advantage deckbox brought to the table. I'm not abandoning the site for all time, but until I wrap my head around whats going on and figure out how I'm going to approach trades through the site, and/or see what changes next with pricing since Sebi said this amazon thing is only temporary.

Lets be honest, while you may double check you know the prices of your promo's, what cards might have spiked, lets say your trading for or trading a m12 birds of paradise. this is such a know value I'm sure you haven't second guessed DB's price. You go yeah 2-3ish its somewhere in there. Now?  Apparently its $4, $6 in foil. That price is 25% to high. Before I could genrally trust DB pricing to be accurate, now I'm going to have to research every trade. I put my account on vacation, but even if/when I resume trading until we have a trustworthy pricing database, the time to check each trade is just going to add time to every trade I do, make me less likely to do larger (volume not price) trades and so forth.

Reputation of the price data means everything. Nobody trusts Amazon for pricing. People in general trusted TCGP because it is an aggregate of many stores prices so the TCGmid is a good average value for a card. MTG Price would provide a similar thing, but deckbox prices or amazon prices are just based on whatever. Here is what is going to happen. People who are willing to sell on deckbox will most likely reference prices on TCGP. The issue is people will be less likely to sell due to the amount of work to price cards. I might list a card or a couple of cards but pricing out 100 or more cards when I have to price each individually is going to be a real issue.

Trades are above sales?

You have to do it however tcgplayer does it basically. It is their data, so if they put the price for JvV Jace as foil, you have to mark it as foil. Deckbox shows 0 for the low/mid/high for non-foil because there is no value returned for a non-foil JvV Jace.
