That's kind of where I'm at on it, too.

I'm sure you'll have 30 people remind you that Beckett value has nothing to do with "actual value," which we all know is established only by the most recent Ebay sale (insert eye roll here). But I definitely agree that it definitely lacks that concept of value, which is why I like trading here. Obviously if I'm selling something, 90% of the time I expect to get significantly below BV. But when it comes to trading, I don't think I've had anyone that doesn't at least use it as a reference.

So, yeah, it's not perfect here, but it's the best I've come across.

Yes, a million views on "actual value". I'd be out of this hobby in a heartbeat if I could get close to the "value" of my collection. However, I'd say that for trading it is almost always accepted as the basis for evening out trades.

Agree that Zistle is another tool, but it is soooooo slow and I constantly get error messages or that awesome Ooops something has gone wrong page. It looks like a good place for set building trades though that don't really matter as far as value.

I've received the same error messages probably about 1/2 the times I've perused the site. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't have the infrastructure in place to support a large number of users. We'll see what happens. I'll continue to poke around there to see if I can find some cards I need I'm not able to find here. It is much better than other sites where you are looking through long lists, spreadsheets or a photo bucket. I don't have time for that.
