I use BV a couple of ways. 1st - I do use it for trades on ungraded cards here, but its really just a barometer. Knowing that alot of older cards haven't been re-priced in like forever (1971 base for $.05...I mean really) I don't care if the BV is in favor of my trading partner at times. Also, I do use it as one of many factors when buying an ungraded card (BV x 40%ish on newer cards....maybe a little higher on older cards). Alot of times it really depends on how bad I want a card when buying. Also, because you paid x $ for a card, doesn't mean that's what I'll pay. Like Muzo...I'll go elsewhere to get something or just do without. My PC will never be completed, so missing out on something is no big deal.
