Topic: Inaccurate card values

The values for all of the foil full-art lands from Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation are way off.  For example, the foil AKH Mountain is $8 on deckbox, but its actual value is just over $5 (http://shop.tcgplayer.com/magic/amonkhet/mountain-full-art-253 ).  This makes it difficult to trade for these lands since deckbox only displays the deckbox prices and the trades look far apart in value.

There are other cards this is an issue with too (foil Wastes are in the other direction -- one of them is $2.29 on deckbox while its actual value is $12).

I submitted a support case about this problem almost a month ago, and it still hasn't been fixed.  If the site was prompt about making corrections, this would be only a minor issue.

Not only does this make trading on the site more difficult, but this sort of thing is really damaging to deckbox's reputation -- who wants to sign up for a site where the card prices are unpredictably inaccurate?

Re: Inaccurate card values

The site doesn't actually set prices. Prices are calculated based on what Deckbox Sellers have their cards listed at. Here's the rub, sellers aren't great at updating prices when they drop, so they'll trickle down over time according to other sites, and that won't get reflected on DB. However, as soon as prices go up, people buy out the listed cards that are below value, quickly correcting the price. As such, almost as a rule, Deckbox prices are 10-20% high for almost everything. Cards that may not have a large supply of, that have dropped price gradually over time, are probably more off than that. This is why most people use TCG as their reference price, even though it's more annoying to look it up.
