Book Value versus Sell Value Trading

[flopfish]

Look at the crosby young guns, they were selling easy for 250+ now you can pick one up for around 150. Depends on who and the time your trading.

A Crosby YG for $150? That's a steal and a half!

As for SV versus BV, use common sense. If you don't like the trade, don't do it. SV is generally easier to use.

Isnt Bv based around Sv tho? Thats generally the notion of how Bvs are made is by what said card would go for on the secondary market....is it not? I prefer Bv myself just cuz I find it an easier tool to use. Someone might tell me a card sells for x amount of dollars, but Id rather know for certain based on Bv what would be a good number to give up for said card in trade. I usually tend to walk away from trades revolving around Sv. I have no problems making "off book trades" meaning a mutual agreed trade with no numbers involved, but Bv is the way for me.

If you visit this site to make some money then I can see where SV would make sense for you. I only trade on this site so I could care less about the SV and use the BV as my reference. Cheers.
