I mean the listed prices are either half or less then what the card sell for, so when some offers you "guide" value how do you respond?

It has kinda bothered me as it has happened several times in the last 10 days.

I have been selling T 205 graded by SGC at SMR and above todate, maybe I should be higher. Good question Jim.

Then your customer love buying from you.

MArket values. Buy and sell at what the market is selling at. SMR and Beckett and Tuff Stuff are all wrong. I do not buy from book dealers who rely on a book to give them pricing. Why not do the research and sell the cards at or maybe a small % above market sale. By the way SMR is not even close to T205 correct pricing!!!!!!!

While I use these books as "guides", I mainly use the advanced search link on eBAY to find out my prices. Usually something of equal stature has been sold in the past 30 days on the site and it gives a pretty good indicator of the going price. But to get mad at someone for charging what they think their card is worth? I've got better things to do with my life. Z.

I've Been buying T205 cards on ebay and on Net 54 for a while and they are selling for at least 25% less then SMR, for commons and star players 3' 4's and 5's. SMR can be off on the upside and the down side. I hear the same opinion that they are way off when your selling, But I never hear that there off(lower) when your buying. Look at the BST on T-205's in the past few month's and you will see that the selling prices are well below book value SMR for t-205's. With the exception of high grade cards and rare cards.
All opionion welcomed.
