Okay folks,
Problem with some logic here here is..... Scrye compiles their prices
off of what the retailers send them..... Read the very first page of
the price list for the breakdown of how they do it..... I'll sum it up
for you though..... The break the prices into three levels, high,
middle, and low..... add up all the prices in each braket, and divide
it by the number of stores who reported those prices for each range.....
It is a guide, but it doesn't take in considerations for regional
differences.......
Cards might be common in one area, but not another due to packaging, and
distrubution..... Last year, in Australia, X-Files cards had horrid
distrubution with regards to the rares..... In my area, we were finding
2-3 rares per pack. The shops I go to were selling them for less than
other areas where selling them for.
Scrye doesn't just make up the prices..... They take in the retailers
input, and take the average, out of all data. Another thing to take into
consideration, is that, around here, not many places sell ShadowRun
singles, (Magic being much more of a cash cow.) If there are only a
dozen or so stores selling them in this area, who send in prices to
scrye, those prices may cause the average to go up a bit more, (or down)
depending on how much they gouge the buyers.
IMHO, some of those prices, are fine by me..... However, if some folks
wanted to sell me a few Swarrks, or Lord Torgo's for half, or less.....
hey, I'm fine with that too.
sorry for all the rambling, but when it comes down to it..... the cards
are only worth what someone will pay for them.....
