Is there a way to look at stuff on tcg that was actually SOLD? Because I feel there is no way in hell anyone is buying Tarns for $54 + shipping from tcg sellers. For all we know those have just been sitting at that price not being sold for weeks.

I've noticed that some cards seem to have unnaturally deflated values as well ($45 Vendilion Clique, for example--vs $60 at SCG). Generally, though, the differences in price between TCG mid and SCG balance out when comparing two or more cards, so it tends to be easier to just go with the TCG mid. There are obvious exceptions, though.
Ya I guess it evens out on trades a lot of the time. I guess if you're making a trade for almost exclusively big ticket items you should discuss the value. The problem is that I had this exact situation and the guy called me out for "just choosing that my cards are more expensive than his" even though A) That's not what I did (I said they weren't that less value than his) and B) isn't that the point of a trade? I feel everyone will not even consider discussing value when the site makes them feel like they are in the "right" since the value on their side of the screen is a bigger number. Idk. I've just had a hard time explaining this to some traders.

Re: W: 3x Unlimited Underground Sea H: 3x Revised Underground Sea + Value (8 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
Ya no worries. Thanks for the interest! I'm evaluating them at tcg low relative to each other. The average revised USea is $180 too. But either way everyone is entitled to their own evaluations.
What would you evaluate the value gap to be if you wanted to consider it?
Cheers.

Re: W: 3x Unlimited Underground Sea H: 3x Revised Underground Sea + Value (8 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
In my opinion tcg low has always been a more accurate evaluation of high dollar cards (as far as trading is concerned).

Re: W: 3x Unlimited Underground Sea H: 3x Revised Underground Sea + Value (8 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)
Here is a pic of my whole set (http://i.imgur.com/A7jAIdU.jpg). They are all light play. The bottom left one is the least "faded" of them although it's border is a little less pristine in comparison. As far as value is concerned I value the unlimited ones about ~$25 more. It of course depends a lot on the quality of the cards. I'm not sure how reasonable or not that is, but as I said, I'm pretty flexible.
