I don't want to whine about one iffy feature of this truly awesome site, and I'm really happy that Shinja added the prices to the trade & collection pages, but has anyone else run into weird inaccuracies?

I'm going through my collection and seeing what I can trade off (sniff sniff, goodbye seps & imperials) and making lots of offers for the things I want (why won't anyone give me their freaking Captain Rex!?) but it's confusing to know which price to go by when you're proposing a trade and the list on Bloo Milk says one price, the TCGplayer site says another, and then if you go and check the individual sites like Troll & Toad or Miniature Market the price is also different. Sometimes more, usually less.

Like I said, I'm grateful to have the price stuff on Bloo Milk. It's usually at least in the right ballpark. I'm more concerned that I'm going to lowball people when I offer them some of my stuff.

I dont beleive the problem is on Shinja's end TCG player seems to have stopped their updating in any way shape or form.

If you go to individual sites and look at prices and then check what TCG says they should costs there is a huge gap. I guess that portion of their site is dead now or something because they are part of a bigger site.

Oh I didn't want to make it seem like I was blaming Shinja. I figured it was TCGplayer. Shinja, if you're reading this...do not smite your humble poster! Lo, your powers are great!

oh I wasn't implying that. We have a banner from them on gamers and it is frustrating because now their price guide software is kind of worthless.

Yeah, the price feature isn't what it used to be. The prices that you see that aren't linked, the ones that are just text, those were accurate right when JA came out, there probably has been some significant change since then. It would be cool to link TT, MM, and CS directly since 1. TCG player adds 5% (I think) to the price of those sites and 2. It would be more accurate.
