Allow me to present another thought. What the seller recently paid for a card is relevant to what the market value is...especially if the price was achieved in the open market (ie. at auction).
If the seller won a recent auction with active bidding, the price paid is certainly an important data point in determining market value (price guides...pretty much useless). Another way to put this is don't expect to buy items at auction and then flip them for more because the "value" is higher than you paid. Says who? On the other hand, if the seller recently got the item at a "dealer's discount" at a show, or in a large lot of other items, I find it more likely he could expect profit. Cheers, Blair
