Your opinion?

I recently made a trade at a local card shop for a 02-03 SPx Tayshaun Prince au/jsy /1999 which books for $20 and a 93-94 Finest Mashburn bv $5. The shop had the Prince marked for $45, so I assumed that was the approximate bv. I am a UK fan and despise UL so I gave him the following:
09-10 Classics Earl Clark Timeless Threads Prime /25
09-10 R&S Earl Clark Team Patch au
07 SPx Amobi Okoye rookie au /199
(2) 07 SPx Michael Bush Winning Materials rookie gu

I know I got shafted and I realize that card shops have to make a profit, but I am a bit of a novice at trading, so in your opinion, did I get shafted bad enough to never go back to this shop or should I just feel good about what I got? thanks

if you are happy with the trade- then its all good. bv wise, yeah, you got hosed, but most card shops dont trade at even BV, they'd never make a profit. BV is a guide anyways, so if he thinks he can sell or trade the prince at 45, then hes gonna do it

My local card shop told me a 1/1 has book value of $30. I was laughing so badly how the owner comes up with "book value"

Hey that's not too bad, anytime you can get rid of Panini cards that's a plus in my book. At least Prince has won a NBA championship. Not sure if the other guys ever will. I'm not sure about the value of the football or baseball autos/gu though.
